She really appreciates their honesty because she does not want to live in a delusion and believes that constructive criticism is necessary to grow.She explained that this culture of honest and open feedback has been with her since she was a child. When she danced on stage at school, other parents would praise their daughters as the best, but her mom would kindly say, “That was good… but maybe you could have done this a little better.” Her gentle approach never offended her, and she would simply think, “Okay, I’ll work on that.” This way of thinking has deeply influenced her.Anusha Dandekar’s hunger for growth and positivity influenced by Farhan AkhtarAnusha credits her drive and determination to the mindset shaped by honest feedback throughout her life.

Always challenge yourself,” she shared. When asked if there’s anything she absolutely wouldn’t pursue, Anusha responded playfully, “Oh my god, I don’t know if this is supposed to be a really deep question or just a light one!

Definitely not.” Her answer highlights her commitment to positivity and personal growth.Anusha Dandekar chooses not to dwell on negativity related to Farhan AkhtarDandekar addresses handling negativity and trolls by choosing not to seek them out anymore.
