Priyanka Lalwani, known for her role in popular TV show Jamai Raja, feels that it’s not always but sometimes the actors do go through the pressure of looking good off the camera too.

She said, “When you create an on-screen image people have a certain expectation from you even off screen. Most of the time it’s okay, there’s no pressure because it’s a part and parcel of our lives but sometimes it gets too much. I wish they realise that it’s okay to dress down sometimes or just be yourself.”

The young actress feels that in some way social media too is responsible for this. “As much as social media has helped us all to stay connected, there’s always this pressure that you can’t upload a picture donning the same look. You are always conscious about how your look is for the content you upload.”

She further said, “Earlier, it was for appearances and shows but now it’s all digital, whether it is for uploading content, brand associations, staying connected to the audiences etc. So, it becomes difficult to have a new look every time.” But she confessed that it’s good that now actors are open about their grooming routine and don’t shy away from talking about it in the public.
