Explaining the work-life balance, Aadil stated “Don’t think that your work is your entire life. Make sure you enjoy your life together as much as you can. Your project will be successful. If you give 50% to your work, give 50% to yourself, to your friends, to your family.”
Advising students about following the path of dance, Aadil added “I came from a middle-class family. I had no money to pay for dance classes and I always wanted to dance. I think if there’s a will, there’s a way. I still remember going to the Shyamak drama office in 2012-13 and telling them honestly that I did not have the money but wanted to learn. They understood me and I got free training from Shyamak. You don’t need resources, or money first, you just need talent.“
Shruthy Menon
Shruthy Menon, an accomplished Indian actress, television host, and model, captivated the audience at Tvaran Festival as she judged the Rise of the Phoenix event, featuring a blend of best out of waste followed by a fashion walk, held on 8th March. Known for her charismatic presence and versatility, Shruthy Menon has carved a niche for herself in the entertainment world. Courtesy of Talent Partner Social Nation, her appearance at the festival served as an inspiration for the young millennials, reaffirming the power of talent and hard work.
While speaking to students about mastering her craft she added “ I am an actor, I am a model, I am a dancer, I am a student of life. There is never a day where I think I have mastered anything yet. Every day there is something new that I learn that I can incorporate into my art.”
Advising the students about the route to the creative field Shruthy Menon added, “People think that you have to study only if you want to become a doctor or an engineer but if you want to become an actor, you have to deep dive into the study of the human psychology. You can’t just look nice and come and be a successful actor.”
Aadu & Mayy
Aadu and Mayy, a dynamic couple creator duo renowned for documenting their journey of exploration and togetherness, graced the Tvaran Festival stage as judges for the Mr. and Ms. Tvaran, a Personality Event held on 8th March. Their infectious energy and relatable content have garnered them a massive following in the digital sphere. In the company of Aadu and Mayy, the excitement of the audience was contagious, as they connected with the students and spread positivity through their experiences and interactions.
Speaking about creating content together, the couple expressed happiness. Aadhya added “ Now that we document things, we have so many videos that we can go back to. Also, you get to know each other better when you start working with a person. We evolved as a couple while making content together. It’s like creating a life.”
While Mayur is a strong believer in “the feeling” he advised students “ Once you get that feeling don’t doubt it. Don’t second doubt it. Just go for it. Don’t have any fear of commitment. Everything will be fine.”
As Social Nation Campus collaborated with the Tvaran Festival witnessing the unfolding of its myriad of events and activities, it was truly magical. With Aadil Khan, Shruthy Menon, and Aadu & Mayy gracing the occasion, the festival was an unforgettable experience for participants and spectators alike.
