Positive mindset for me is to be in the moment. -Mala Limbu
"I'm confident in my own self- in my own understanding of myself."
Mala Limbu is one of the famous models and actresses of Nepal. Born and raised in Singapore, she's come a long way in the Nepalese show business. Her smile and confidence are like a cherry to her stunning looks and beautiful figure. She's a role model for many youngsters aspiring to enter the show business. Recently, we had an interview with her regarding her career and her fitness. Let's get to know more about her.
1. What is your secret for glowing and flawless skin?
I'm not talking about my glow when I'm saying this but to have glowing skin having people need to be happy and balanced from the inside at first. For me, I try to have a balanced life like eat well, sleep well, exercise, and take care of my skin, body, and mental health. Basic for skin, I'm using Zen Botanics products which is an Australian-based organic product, and it's really good for acne-prone skin. I don't really have acne-prone skin still I loved it among the other products I've tried so far. You need to cleanse your skin properly. Moisturize, apply a sunscreen which is a must. And, at night you need to apply night oil or serum or anything to moisturize again. Try scrubbing and masking your skin twice to thrice a week. And most important, drink plenty of water.
2. How do you maintain your body and figure? Do you have any specific diet and workout plan?
I don't really have a specific diet. Rather, I have a theory of my own, that is- whatever your body asks you, you should give it that. Sometimes you feel like having something sour like panipuri or anything sour. I just go for it. I feel that our cravings should be fulfilled. Other than this theory, I don't have any diet of my own. And as for workouts, I have been lucky that my metabolism is quite good. So, even if I eat too much, I don't gain much fat. And as for my muscles, I do the workout. I used to join a gym, previously. But, now I've bought a few gym equipments and have started working out at home. However, I am not working out as of now because of my hand injury.
3. How do you stay confident and positive?
I'm actually quite a shy person. I'm confident in my own self- In my own understanding of myself. But I'm a bit shy. As for positive, you know how this world functions, how we function, so basically it is always a battle between being positive and negative. But, I always try to be positive. And I really think it's important to have a positive mindset. A positive mindset for me is to be in the moment and to take joy at that moment.
4. When and how did you realized that you want to enter the show business?
To be honest, I never really intended to be on tv or be a model or actress. But, it so happened that when I decided to leave Dharan because I stayed there for 3 years. As I came from Singapore, I didn't like how mundane the town was. So, I really wanted to grow myself and push myself. So that's when I decided to go to Kathmandu. And, previously when I was in Dharan, I had received an offer from Goodbye Kathmandu. But I didn't want to do it at the moment. But apparently, when I got to Kathmandu I worked for 6 months, and then I realized I need a good-paying job. Meanwhile, the role that I was offered by Goodbye Kathmandu previously was still vacant. So, I eventually did it. Then, goodbye to also didn't release. Then, I started doing modeling because it was good pay as compared to other jobs. After modeling, I had the opportunity to work in the movies again. And now, I do enjoy myself. I see myself as a creative person more like an artist than a businesswoman. Eventually, I realized that this is where I belong. And, I thank god for giving me this opportunity. It has been a blissful journey.
5. Have you ever had any experience with criticism? How do you handle it?
I have heard a lot of criticisms regarding my laughter mostly. And of course, everyone faces criticism in a different stage of life. I think criticisms should have listened as people don't speak without any reason. One needs to have an open heart and open ears and an open mind to everything people throw at you. You can take it however you want but learn a lesson from it. Know where it's coming from and just bring a positive outcome to it.
And there were memes on my laughter. And, I laughed along with the video. I thought it was funny seeing myself being ragged. But, later on, as it became the old story, it started to irritate me but still, this is part of life. I know it's not a personal attack. It's just my laughter attack what they're doing. But I do tend to take it positively. And sometimes I don't even react to things that are being thrown at me.
6. Any suggestions for someone aspiring to enter the show business?
I think as I wasn't expecting or planning to be in the show business what happened was I wasn't prepared. As I was born and raised in Singapore, I didn't really watch Nepali movies. So, I didn't know much about Nepalese movie industry actors, actresses, and directors. I didn't know how Nepali society and the film industry functions. So, for anyone who wants to enter the industry, I think it's always good to do background research and know everything.
Basically, you need to know your craft. You need to have a good understanding and education on that like maybe a degree in acting. You should be good at what you're doing. You should know the people around you. You should know who you're working with. You should know who you want to work with. You should have your goals set down.
