Nabha Natesh on recovery, return and new films: I learnt to look beyond validation

“When we are constantly working, we rarely pause to ask if we are headed in the right direction,” says actor Nabha Natesh. “When I was home recovering from a shoulder injury, I took that time to introspect. It changed how I look at life. I learnt to look beyond the fragility of validation.”

She has just wrapped work on the Telugu films Nagabandham and Swayambhu, both period dramas expected to release soon. For now, she is enjoying the break. “Since the pandemic, there has been a shift in what people choose to watch in theatres versus at home. When I returned to work, I knew I had to approach things differently.”
