Meera Deosthale opens up about stage fright

Actress Meera Deosthale, popular for playing Chakor in "Udann", says there was a time when she had stage fright.

"I had stage fright and used to shiver during debates. However, my friend once gave me a good advice which has helped me overcome stage fright. He told me to look at people as if they don't exist and just look at buildings and things around me whenever I am on stage," Meera said in a statement.

"I realised, over a period of time, that when you are on the stage, that time is all yours and you need to make the most of it. People will clap for you anyway. Nobody can take that 10-15 minutes away from you and that is when the world is yours."

She now stars in the Colors' social drama "Udann" that highlights the issue of bonded labour.
