Kanchi Singh on making OTT debut with film '3rd October' and her idea of happiness

So what gives you instant happiness? “Listening to music gives me instant happiness. I think it gives a different peace of mind when I am sad or upset, so music is something that is therapeutic for me,” she said.

For her, happiness is career dependent because it gives an individual independence and confidence. She said, “I think when you are independent, you have that confidence and bandwidth in you that you can achieve everything you want, and that brings a sense of positivity in you,that confidence in you, that positive attitude in you, which ultimately brings happiness, so a career is very important.”

She also stressed that happiness is indeed connected with personal and professional balance. She added, “Every aspect of life should be balanced and in proportion. If something is in excess, life starts to shake and everything gets scattered, so balance is important. I strike a balance between the two by not mixing them, like when I am working, it’s totally professional, and when I am with my loved ones, friends, and family, I am a different person. Setting priorities is very important to balance both the professional and personal lives, which I try to do.”

A message to your fans and followers? “I would love to tell my followers and fans that whatever the situation is, always keep patience and always remember that there is always a bright day after a dark, dull night, so keep smiling and be happy! And always respect your parents. Try to keep them happy as much as you can because I feel if your parents are happy, happiness will ultimately find its way to you,” Kanchi concluded.
