21st March, Mumbai: Producer Nivedita Basu says that happiness should be of paramount importance in everyone’s life. In fact, she adds that success will come to you, only when you are happy and content with what you do.
“Happiness for me is anything that brings a smile to me and my family, my kids and my work. I think that holds the utmost importance in everyone’s life. I know people who are very successful but very unhappy. I believe happiness comes way above success and if you’re happy success follows,” she says.
She adds, “In today’s day and time we have such stressful lives that people are leading and it’s leading to health disorders. Being happy is way more ahead than being successful. never prioritise your health with work, unhappiness. If you’re happy and healthy everything else will follow. It’s just that you shouldn’t give it up.”
Ask her what are the top five things she cherishes in her life, and she says, “My kids, my family, my good health, my wellness and my mental being are above everything. The day my job doesn’t give me happiness when I wake up and go everyday will be the day I will retire.”
She adds, “My greatest strength is my positive attitude and my family support in everything I do. I’ve seen people not getting supper from their close ones which is so hurtful. God has been kind to me that both my in-laws and maternal sides of families have supported me. Whatever you do in life, do something that brings joy and let your family support you.”
