Sukoon, who is seen as Anusha in Ravindra Gautam and Raghuvir Shekhawat’s Dahej Daasi, which is produced under their banner, Do Dooni 4 Films, believes an actor’s performance is directly proportional to the environment on a set.
She said, “The environment on a set has proven to influence well-being and directly influence productivity. Those who are most satisfied by their set environment will be more motivated and, subsequently, more productive. Individual performance always depends on the working environment. It is our best desire to work in a place where we have support, mutual understanding, motivation, and help from people all around us.”
Looking back at her journey as an actor, she said that she was an introvert and knew nothing about the industry, but she worked on herself and is open to learning new things and working on her skills. She added, “Everybody has their own journey. It’s what makes you ‘You’. My progress in the last few months performing and learning here in Dahej Dasi has made me feel so proud of myself.”
She further said, “My skills in acting have progressed at such an elevated pace that sometimes I even surprise myself. From working on the finer, smaller details like our breathing techniques to creating beautiful sequences of movement, I found that I’m really starting to develop the key skills of my craft in ways I haven't found in previous studies. My focus and drive have also grown, and I’m so excited to continue to learn and develop my art form.”
Sukoon also believes that ambition overrides both talent and resources when it comes to the most important tools for achieving success. She said, “You might have the best skill set required for your job, but you won't be able to advance your career unless you have the ambition to excel in your particular field.”
She feels opportunities get you closer to success, and added, “Whatever goals and dreams you may have, you may have difficulties achieving them if you don't grab opportunities as they come. But sometimes it might be better to say no. Every opportunity you accept means there's less time for another one, and sometimes the future opportunity is more important to your long-term success.”
How do you choose one from multiple opportunities? “I take time in these kinds of scenarios. So basically, my priority is work more than money, so I try to pick the opportunity that can lead me to a bright future rather than the funds,” she ended.
