CINTAA conducts a workshop for actors to survive the dark side of the industry

CINTAA conducts a workshop

Mumbai: It is no news that the glamour and glitz of the entertainment world brings along the burden of anxiety, uncertainty and stress. While most of us are awestruck by the beauty of all things wonderful from the outside, many in the industry succumb to the harshness of its reality.

To ensure a balance between these disparities, Cine And TV Artistes Association has rightly pledged and taken the onus of working towards the overall betterment of the actors from the television industry.

Although we are aware of the dark side of this tantalizing glamour industry, the ‘Pranav Misshra and Jyoti Sharma vs. The producers’ case has played a key role in reinforcing the members of CINTAA to roll out an initiative to assist actors in striking a balance between work and life, glamour and normalcy. The association is working towards developing a constructive plan for actors adversely affected by their work and other work related problems. CINTAA is striving hard to help the actors fight depression, anxiety and stress by providing services to them to be able to deal in a stronger manner with the unpleasant side of this profession.

It was a 3-day long workshop conducted by CINTAA with Yoga as a significant part of the healing therapy. TellyChakkar got in touch with Nupur Alankar
, a prominent actress from the TV industry and a member of the association, to know more details about the initiative.

The actress explained, “In the TV industry, the stress level is really high. There are people who work in night shifts which is really harmful as it takes a heavy toll on their physical and mental health.”

She further added, “Actors have to work for 18-20 hours a day including traveling. Several actors are sleep deprived. So it is very important to take care of their physical and mental health. In fact, there have been times when I have been to the sets and council people.”

Talking about the workshop, she shared, “Psychologists and psychiatrists were present there. People don’t even know the difference between the two. So it was an introductory workshop. Gracefully by the end of the third day, the attendees came in thrice the number of attendees that visited the first day. We’ve got positive response from all around. “

On future initiatives, she said, “We are going to organize a session every week with a doctor who will guide the actors to deal with rejection, how to face it and how to deal with situation when there is no work.”

The workshop was attended by popular names from the industry. That’s a noble initiative taken by CINTAA to safeguard the actors from depression and other mental hazards.
