Ahsaas Channa: My issue as a teenager was getting a little addicted to attention

Ahsaas Channa was just four-year-old when she started acting, and has been a part of the industry since then. Ahsaas Channa featured as a child actor in films such as Vaastu Shastra, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, My Friend Ganesha, and Phoonk “My issue as a teenager was authenticity, getting a little addicted to attention, and trying to be different just to stand out and get more of it - but I also think the mistakes that I made as a teenager have helped me grow into the person I am today,” Channa confesses. “I wouldn’t want to change anything about my teenage years, though, so I’d just tell my teenage self to go ahead and live life and make those mistakes, because it’ll help her figure things out and grow into her skin,” adds the actor, who made her debut with film, Vaastu Shastra. I talk to my friends, or my mom who is very supportive… But I’m still trying to figure out what triggers me, and it’s a journey,” shares the actor, who feels being vocal is the way to which pushed her to do a podcast, Dear Teenage Me, which tackles several issues from body image issues to mental health. “It’s been very inspiring for me to hear people talk about these issues so bravely - I just try to add in my own personal experiences wherever they’re relevant and then let their stories come through… I feel like listening to different people telling different stories is just a necessary thing in today’s times,” she concludes.
