Sherleen Dutt: Describing oneself can be complex and nuanced
Honey Trap Squad actress Sherleen Dutt says that it is tough to describe yourself to other people. She adds that we are often different with different people, based on the circumstances. “I am Inquisitive, empathetic, adaptable, knowledgeable, and conversational. Describing oneself can be complex and nuanced, often taking longer than expected as self-perception is multi-faceted and context-dependent. I agree that we present different sides of ourselves to different people based on context, relationship, and comfort levels,” she says. She adds, “Absolutely, there is often a private side that we express when we are alone, which might include vulnerabilities and unfiltered thoughts.” Meanwhile, she says that always being comfortable can limit you. “Staying in our comfort zones can limit personal growth and opportunities for new experiences and challenges. Staying in our comfort zones can limit personal growth and opportunities for new experiences and challenges,” she says.
She adds, “Moving out of comfort zones allows for significant growth and new experiences. For instance, starting to create poetry videos might have been daunting at first, but it likely led to enhanced creativity, self-expression, and a sense of accomplishment.” She says that people often perceive her to be very bold, but she is quite soft from within. “People often see me as a strong and bold actress, but inside, I sometimes cry alone. While I have bold thoughts, I'm not an extrovert. I talk and call my friends very little, and though I have few friends, my connections with them remain consistent, even after years apart. I dislike when people are unclear and prefer not to give or receive lengthy explanations. I believe we all show different sides of ourselves to different people; with some, I'm more extroverted, while with others, I'm more introverted. Overall, I consider myself an ambivert. There is a very emotional side of me that no one knows, and I keep it hidden,” she says.
She adds, “Despite my bold exterior, there's an emotional depth that I rarely share. Moving out of my comfort zone has been essential for my growth. For example, when I first started creating poetry videos, it was a daunting task. However, pushing through that initial discomfort allowed me to explore new creative avenues and express myself in ways I hadn't before.”
