How Anoushka Shankar deals with setbacks: ‘When bad things happen…’

Anoushka said she feels confident when she is comfortable. “I feel confident when I am doing things that feel authentic to me,” she told the portal, adding that if she does something that is not true to who she is, there is a certain “falsity to that”. “I have to stay true to myself.”

Shankar also talked about her daily rituals. “When something comes my way, or if it is a decision about work or life that I need to make, one of the things that I have learnt to do is to stop and take the time I need. Maybe my first answer is not my long-term answer,” she shared.

The 41-year-old admitted that the right decision in life should always feel “simple and comfortable”.

Today, she knows she is “stronger than [she] thought [she] was years ago”. “…the kind of things that I thought may break me, didn’t. And so, with time and experience I have learnt that I survive and heal, and that time heals; there’s a long journey to things. So, I think that now when catastrophe happens, or bad things happen… they happen and I experience them and feel them, but they don’t come with that same feeling of like, ‘I can’t manage this’ or ‘this is going to break me’; I know it won’t.”
