SHOULD PARENTS BE THE ONES TO DECIDE THEIR CHILD’S CAREER

“What do you want to be?” Is the question of this generation. This is the era of globalisation, with artificial intelligence and with the technology change, jobs have changed and New career paths are constantly replacing the old ones and hence, choosing your career is a very important decision of your life. It not only decides ” who you want to be? ” But also what you make out of this life. Career planning should be done in the smartest possible way because

You may not get the same opportunity twice.

But before we get to career planning we need to decide who gets to plan our career. Whether it should be a professional, your parents, teachers or yourselves?

In many cases, students don’t even get asked about their choices. It’s their parents who decide whether their child will be a doctor or an engineer.

In India itself, people are crazy about competitive exams like IIT JEE, NEET, UPSC and many more. And parents force their children to prepare for these exams. Even before the child completes his secondary school, they are already preparing for this exam in their coaching centre. But this is not how it should work.

Nobody knows you better than you and only you know what interests you the most and what would be the best for you. Deciding what subject you want to choose and what stream you want to pursue should be your decision. Yes, you may take advice from your elders or professionals but the choice is always yours to make.

But you cannot simply wake up one day And decide that you want to be a doctor and after a week you see your friend’s passion for music and then you start dreaming about being a musician for your entire life. This is not how we make decisions, you need to make rational choices, find out about your interests, your goals and yourself,  research about your stream and your future job, talk to people, plan your goals and that’s what we call career planning.  A good decision is an informed decision and planning ahead of your future is never a bad decision.

Students misunderstand their hobbies into a sanctioned up losing interest. If you have a passion for music, there is nothing wrong with following your passion but you must have a plan to support yourself financially till you get success in the field of music. because passion doesn’t come into the equation, surviving and earning money does and you need to decide if the risk you want to take is even worth it or not.

You should be inspired by people but don’t get influenced by them. You are a different human and just because your elder brother cracked IIT  doesn’t mean you will too as well. You can be the most successful in their interest because that’s where your heart and brain work together and make a dream team. Deciding on a career takes a lot of time,  it may happen that you don’t want to do something anymore that you decided to do for the rest of your life, and there may be chances that you have no clue what you want to be. You need to understand that this is a long process and this will take time. You will have to try out different things to know what you want and You are going to make mistakes and you are going to fail but these will only build you stronger and make you wiser. Our experiences make us what we are today and they will decide our tomorrow as well. So, don’t let others decide your future because a career is not to be a chance to chose, it’s a choice

HT Rewind 2024: Teja Sajja says HanuMan kicking off the year in style is the moment he’d been ‘waiting for’ | Exclusive

HT Rewind 2024: Teja Sajja says HanuMan kicking off the year in style is the moment he’d been ‘waiting for’ | Exclusive

In conversation with Hindustan Times, Teja Sajja decodes the success of HanuMan and other Telugu films, talks about his upcoming projects, and more.
When Prasanth Varma’s superhero film HanuMan, starring Teja Sajja, was announced to be released alongside big films like Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram, Venkatesh’s Saindhav and Nagarjuna’s Naa Saami Ranga in January this year, no one expected the underdog to emerge on top. And yet, the film, made on a budget of under ₹50 crore, managed to collect over ₹300 crore at the box office worldwide in 25 days, becoming one of the highest-grossing Indian films for the year.

Ask Teja about the moment he realised his film had not just fought against the tide but also risen to the top; he tells Hindustan Times in an exclusive conversation, “Since I returned to acting (as a lead actor after being a child artiste since 1998), this is the moment I’ve been waiting for. When everything from the HanuMan teaser to the songs was grabbing attention, we knew we had hit a gold mine. But I don’t think we imagined it would cross the ₹300 crore threshold. We were so satisfied with the opening numbers; everything else was a bonus.”

‘Success has given me fear of disappointing people’

Teja acted in Zombie Reddy, Ishq and Adbhutham before HanuMan, but they are what you would call ‘critical successes’, adding to his repertoire as an actor who can perform. But things have changed for him now, says Teja, who is being picky about the roles he says yes to. “Success either makes you overconfident or gives you the fear of disappointing people; I have the latter,” he explains.

Teja admits he wants to chart out his career in Hrithik Roshan’s footsteps, but not in the way you think. “I have such a fondness for Hrithik due to Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish. No matter how well he performed after that, these left a lasting impression on me; I’m sure 90s kids will agree,” he says, adding, “Similarly, I’ve realised that I have an audience in children now. I want to be conscious of that when I pick roles. I want to make films families can enjoy together.”

But despite people in places like Mumbai or Delhi recognising him, Teja says he’s clear that he wants to cater to the Telugu audience first. “I am conscious that I am making films for my playground – the Telugu states. This is the sensibility I have grown up with, and I don’t know if I can cater to everyone else. Will I promote my films in other languages? Sure. But I also can’t be part of films that aren’t authentic to what I know or understand,” he explains.

‘Rootedness has put us on the world map’

And authenticity seems to be the need of the hour. Be it Baahubali and RRR or the recently released Pushpa 2: The Rule, Kalki 2898 AD and Devara: Part 1, certain kind of stories seem to be finding success. “Rootedness and going local is proving to be such a boon for us, be it in Devara or Pushpa or HanuMan. Kalki 2898 AD was our version of a Hollywood film (the sci-fi concept) with actors from across languages in predominant roles; it put us on the world map,” reflects Teja.

However, the actor admits Tollywood went through a phase of Bollywood-inspired rom-coms and family dramas that worked in their favour for a while. “That wasn’t easy to replicate either, but it’s just that these local stories are what the audience seems most interested in now. It can’t just be chalked up to religion, too. It’s about the morals these films are hinged on, the fighting for righteousness, and how an underdog can find their strength. Introducing Mahabharata or Ramayana to a new audience in a cool way is just a perk,” he says.

And it’s this rootedness that Teja says his next films, Mirai and Jai Hanuman (the sequel to HanuMan), will also have ample of. “Mirai is also a superhero film that caters to kids, but it’s not an origin story like HanuMan. It has a pan-Asian and Buddhist touch because the story is based on King Ashoka’s ideologies. I hope that I will get to deliver something new to the audience again. I will only feel like I’ve arrived if Mirai is equally, if not more, successful,” says Teja.

Rishab Shetty will headline Jai Hanuman, but Teja also looks forward to shooting that. “I can’t wait to be on that set; it’ll be exciting. Now that we know India is ready to watch our films, I want to step it up. I want to shift gears and shoot for at least two films in 2025,” he says. As for what he will do next, Teja says he wants to up the ante. “When I got a SIIMA award for Zombie Reddy as a debutant, I remember telling Prasanth this would be the last award I get. But now that I won a Radio City Cine Award for Best Actor, I hope more awards will follow,” he signs off cheekily.
