No rat race for Sejal

How are you coping with the lockdown?

It was a little difficult in the start, but I’m okay now. I didn’t build a routine for myself. I find new ways to keep myself occupied. I am writing a song, I am practising dance and spending time with family.

We saw your song Aisi Hun. What was your reaction after listening to the first cut of the song?

I was ecstatic.We executed the entire project in two months, which is a quiet quick for recording a song. I co-wrote the song with a friend of mine, who is a music producer. I was really excited and I loved it.

How do you think mental health is getting affected during this time of the COVID-19 outbreak?

I think people are facing different kinds of challenges. For someone like me, who is a content creator, the pressure is to post as much as I can.We content creators are, in fact, working more than we did earlier. But I have consciously tried to take a step back and not get caught in the rat race.

What does a day in the life of Sejal look like?

I’m still shooting my own content every day and still ideating every day. Many brands and publications have come up with interesting ways to collaborate with content creators. I have been doing a lot of ‘live’ shows and also collaborating with other creators.

Tell us about your hobbies.

I have gone back to dancing and writing music. I didn’t get the chance do that before the lockdown. Now, I have the time.

Are you taking up any new challenge?

I am doing this month-long workout session with my trainer Meher. We are doing this everyday and it’s super challenging. I thought I should try to get fitter during this lockdown period.

Anynew project?

At this moment, I am just focusing on writing new formats and focusing on shorter content for Instagram and TikTok. I do have some bigger content pieces but I think I can release those only once the lockdown is over. I have to shoot them properly.
