This New Year, 18-year-old actor Nitanshi Goel has new aspirations. After impressing with her Hindi film debut Laapataa Ladies she now dreams of going international. She says, "I’m manifesting opportunities that allow me to explore international cinema and films that showcase my dancing side. I hope to be part of projects that travel beyond borders, allow me to grow, challenge myself and connect with people on an emotional level."
When asked if she plans to pick her projects in a renewed manner this year she says, "I hope the industry continues to open its arms to young talent and heartfelt stories. I’d love to see more meaningful cinema and stronger female characters. Stories that come from the heart always stay with you, no matter their scale, is what I'm look at this year."
The actor says it's not just on the professional front but personal front too that she has planned some changes. She says, "There will be more trusting my instincts, more smiling, and celebrating the little wins. Self-care in 2026 means listening to my heart and surrounding myself with people who make me feel safe and inspired. I want to slow down when life asks me to, and be fully present in every moment. I’m excited to keep learning and continue working on my craft, strengthening myself, and picking up new skills along the way."
She ends with a New Year's wish for HTCity readers, "I wish everyone the courage to dream bravely,.the courage to be kind, to be curious, and to choose empathy even when it’s difficult."
