Isha Koppikar is no stranger to fame, failure, and the fine balance between the two. In an inspiring and brutally honest message to the youth, the actress laid bare her philosophy on dreams, setbacks, mental health, and what it truly takes to stay the course in a world that demands perfection.
Isha Koppikar shares powerful advice on burnout, failure, and dreams: “Shah Rukh Khan has said ‘those who don’t do anything do wonders’”
“It is very important to dream,” said Isha. “I always believe and say this. But without any plan, to dream like this is just an illusion. It exhausts you. It confuses you.” While she champions ambition, she emphasizes that the real journey begins after the lights dim and the applause fades. “Fairy tales, dream land are very good. We watch movies till the end. What happens after the end? This is real life. Reality is after the end. After the movies, after the end. Where you need patience, planning, mental strength,” added the actress.
Drawing from her own experiences in the industry, Isha reminds young dreamers that glamour often hides the grind. “You don’t get anything overnight. Rome was not built in a day. Rejection, discipline. A lot of time, a lot of efforts, passion. You need everything. But to run it you need a clear plan.”
And when that plan doesn’t work out? Isha doesn’t believe in quitting. “Change the plan. Don’t leave the goal,” she affirms. She also addressed burnout, calling it a sign to pause rather than a sign of weakness. “It’s okay to do nothing. Shah Rukh Khan has said ‘those who don’t do anything do wonders.’ Rest, reset, unlearn, learn, upgrade. Then come back. Stronger than before,” added the actress.
Mental peace, she insisted, trumps all as she went on to state, “The pressure is from society, from peers, from family, from friends, from yourself… but mental peace and strength are above everything.”
Isha also spoke about defining success on one’s own terms. “Every dream has a cost. If you are ready to pay the price then go all in. If not, no problem. No guilt. Your success should be your definition and not anyone else’s,” she maintained.
Her final message? “Life is not permanent. Don’t take it too seriously. Enjoy it… God has given us the power that we can do anything. Love you and God bless,” she said before signing off.
