Mirzapur

and Haiwaan actress Shriya Pilgaonkar was part of Times Network Sustainability Conclave on Wednesday, where she participated in the session Purpose, Planet and Pop Culture: Redefining Influence. The actress, who spoke at length on sustainability and how small change can create a big difference also shared her quick views on good habits, values and the future during a rapid fire round with the host.On being asked which is that one film everyone should watch for its message, Shriya asked for the question to be revisited at the end, before moving on to other topics. The actress would later go on to cheekily add, “Please watch the two films of mine coming out in September - Mirzapur and Haiwaan.”

The actress also shared her thoughts on that one habit she has adopted which she believes is genuinely good for the planet, Shriya said, “Being very scared.” On being asked how, she added, “It is because you do things more consciously and do not take things for granted. Today climate change is a greater threat to the planet than global terrorism. And I do not think people realise the intensity of it because it is not affecting us immediately.”“One needs to understand the depth of issues. Acknowledging helps create change,” Shriya added.Speaking on that one myth on sustainability she would like to bust, Shriya shared that sustainability is not just the responsibility of big corporations, but rather it is also a household responsibility, stating that it is something she truly believes. As for a book or creator who influenced her world view, The Broken News actress revealed, “My world view is largely influenced by the value system my parents has given me. And it is that value system that grounds me today.”Finally, on being asked to define the one word between hope, courage, innovation or responsibility – that defines the future in current times, Shriya concluded by saying, “All of them. The wish is to see beyond a social media algorithm if all us are able to really go into the depth of issues, think critically and not just fall prey to what the world tells us.”“It is very imp to have the neuroplasticity for anything we care about and we are passionate about. How easily swayed am I or am I really going deep into undertsand what the situation is before forming my opinion,” she reasoned.During the session, Shriya had also opened up on her sustainability journey and how films help create a change and start dialogues around such topics.
