Why Kani Kusruti considers herself an 'average' actor
Kani Kusruti, whose film All We Imagine As Light won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, has called herself an "average actor." Speaking to HT, she said while recognition for her work makes her happy, there are other things in life she values more. "I have been notorious in Kerala for the way I have lived. My parents and I have never been shy of what we want to speak."
Kusruti's perspective on acting and personal fulfillment
Kusruti stressed that she doesn't consider acting her passion. "I honestly think I am an average actor because acting is not my passion. I happened to be an actor, and I worked hard to do my best." "When people like or don't like my work, it doesn't affect me so much because I know my place here. I greatly respect the other talented actors, many of whom work way harder than me."
Kusruti finds joy in other aspects of life
Kusruti further explained that she gets more satisfaction from other things in her life. "There are things I am better at, maybe being an assistant producer. And with that, I enjoy it more." "I don't get so much happiness from acting, honestly. But pride and happiness are something I reserve for other things I do in life," she added.
