After her last television show, Aapke Aa Jane Se, wrapped in 2019, Jannat Zubair has not taken up another TV show. Ask her if she has stepped away from the small screen and she says, “I’m currently shooting for some interesting OTT projects. It’s never been about stepping away from TV, it’s about choosing the right work. I want to pick up work that I believe in, which adds to the performer and the actress in me.”
It’s not easy to get projects of one’s choice and needs a lot of patience, she agrees. But has that ever made her anxious? “Not at all. I believe in taking risks. I’m young and I’ve got time to build something meaningful. There are no doubts or insecurities. Patience and self-belief are non-negotiable,” says the actress.
Recently at an event abroad, Jannat got a chance to interact with one of her favourite stars Tom Cruise. Sharing her experience, she says, “Meeting Tom Cruise was surreal. Watching him up close was like witnessing a masterclass in energy, dedication and sheer humility. I walked away with a new level of inspiration.”
Was there anything that caught her off guard? “Not surprised, but deeply impressed. He’s humble, which is rare for someone idolized at that scale. It was incredible to meet someone whose work I have admired for years.”
Being on social media can bring a lot of pressure-Jannat Zubair

With Tik Tok getting banned by the Indian government, a number of young celebs have lost their huge fan following. But they aren’t distressed or disappointed about that. One of them is actor Jannat Zubair, who had over 28 million followers on TikTok. “I support the government’s ban and I’m not really feeling bad about it. In fact, I have been on the platform for a while but I would post on and off and it’s only since the Coronavirus lockdown that I started posting regularly. And I am on other platforms where my fans can interact with me.”
The platform got a lot of hype in the last few years and every celebrity wanted to be on Tik Tok. Zubair admits that “it had a different audience and people loved the videos the most”. Talking about her experience of being on social media, she says, “Social media is wonderful but being a public figure, one has to face things/ comments on platforms sometimes as people often judge you for what you said or didn’t say. It is a never-ceasing pressure but other than that the love I have got from followers on my various handles has been splendid.”
She adds, “Today, there is a lot of pressure and competition about being on social media, especially in teenagers and college students. Everyone wants to increase their follower base and expect a lot of likes on their posts.” She further adds, “It is also about peer-pressure and that can sometimes affect people badly. I think there is a life beyond social media and while some people think having millions of followers is enough but the people in your real life matter more. People should understand that a balance is a must because when you need help in real life, its your family and friends who will be there for you.”
