Actress Raavee Gupta known for her performances in the shows Ssshhhh... Koi Hai, Raavan and Kash... Aap Hamare Hote, says that the profession she is in, requires her to be more active when it comes to promoting herself. She adds that while this can be stressful, she doesn’t take too much tension about it.
“I think in every industry and every business, one has to promote himself. Whether it's the restaurant industry or the textile industry, you have to be able to tell people that this is what we are and this is what we do. Yes, it is required more in the entertainment industry because it is all about the visuals. Every human connects with it on television or radio or even in films. Which leads to a lot of opinions and reactions. It's all about fame,” she says.
She says, "There's a certain level of stress, and how stressed we feel depends on how we handle it. I'm lucky that I don't experience a lot of work-related stress. However, this doesn't mean I'm not dedicated to my work. I take my work very seriously. When it comes to promoting myself through social media or other means, I ensure that I do it effectively because it's highly important. Nevertheless, I don't let it overwhelm me; it's something that didn't come naturally to me. I acknowledge that, as a part of the growing industry, I should learn to do it. So, I approach it positively, as a tool, and I'm open to learning how to use it to promote myself in a way that suits me."

When it gets too much, the actress makes sure to rejuvenate herself “It can be very pressurising. The competition is fierce. If you don't have any support system then sometimes things take a dark turn. When I feel pressured about anything whether it's a professional or personal life, I have learned to take a step back, breathe, and stop using my mobile. I even avoid television and spend time with my family. I take my son and visit my paternal house. We spend time with family, play games, eat a lot, sleep, and laugh a lot. We just see things as they are instead of how pressure makes us see them. It helps me whenever I start feeling bad about myself and things make me feel down. I notice the problems and try to approach them. Then I come back with a clear vision. And I think that is something which will help everyone. Take a moment and step back and think about what is happening. Ground yourself and think about yourself, it is the only way we can move forward.”Talking about ambitions, she says, “We all have our ambitions. Somebody wants to win the biggest awards as far as actors are concerned. Somebody wants to do the ideal role. I want to explore my potential. I don't have any limits on my ambitions. There's nothing like I want to do this and I don't want to do that. I want to work a lot. I am happy with the way things look in the industry in terms of the opportunities that are offered. It's fantastic and I am very glad. I am very positive and hopeful that I'll get the work I want to do. I will be able to explore the work I am capable of.
