Courting Success

The newest OTT T star on the block, Namrata Sheth, has won plaudits for her work in Guilty Minds and says it's been the perfect launch for her. She's happy that the masses have liked the series and is grateful for the love that has been coming her way. Modelling has often been the first step on the ladder of success for many actors and Namrata followed a similar trajectory. She started modelling at the age of 16, appearing in a commercial for a face wash brand at that tender age. She says she realised she loved performing ever since she first faced the camera. "I ended up getting a lot of assignments after that and slowly, I realised that this was a route I wanted to take," she elaborates. She's been modelling for a decade now and says keeping herself motivated has been the biggest life lesson she's imbibed thus far. "I had to struggle initially with rejection but then I learnt to take criticism in my stride and use it as a tool to better myself. And I also learnt how to keep my spirits up and bounce back from disappointments."
