[@alankarvijay3828]

No wonder she started from theatre and she still says she always wanted to be on "Stage".. thats something you won't find people who are in the industry.. Actors go behind Fame and ARTISTS like her go behind passion for acting and that's how such a character what we saw in Little things came out..

Embracing Individuality in a Conformist World: The Journey of Mithila Palkar
**Summary:**
In this candid conversation, Mithila Palkar, known for her roles in "Girl in the City" and "Little Things," opens up about her unconventional journey in the entertainment industry. Growing up, she always knew she wanted to be on stage, with a deep love for music and performance instilled by her family. Despite societal pressures, Mithila resisted the conventional paths suggested by many and followed her own unique trajectory.
Mithila's rebellion against societal norms allowed her to maintain her authenticity. She never succumbed to the pressures of conforming to stereotypical expectations, both in her appearance and her career choices. Rejecting the idea of a one-size-fits-all approach to success, she emphasized the importance of doing what feels right at the moment, whether it's dressing up or choosing roles in the industry.
Her journey into the world of acting happened organically. Encouraged by her love for theater, Mithila volunteered at a theater festival and found herself drawn into the world of acting. She auditioned for various roles, including one in "Girl in the City," where she embraced her character wholeheartedly, leading to a successful venture that marked a turning point in her career.
Mithila's ability to switch channels in her mind, transitioning from one thought to another swiftly, keeps her grounded and prevents her from getting lost in the pressures of the industry. Her unique approach to life and work enables her to maintain her identity in a world that often demands conformity.
**Key Points:**
- Mithila's love for performance and music was ingrained in her from childhood, shaping her desire to be on stage.
- She resisted societal pressures, choosing authenticity over conformity in her appearance and career choices.
- Her entry into acting happened organically through volunteering at a theater festival and auditioning for roles.
- "Girl in the City" became a significant milestone, marking a turning point in her career.
- Mithila's ability to swiftly shift focus from one thought to another helps her maintain balance and authenticity in the entertainment industry.

Would really like it if Varun spoke louder or the mic is closer to him. Feels like listening to the podcast in two different volumes. Can hear him while the guest is too loud..
