This World Kindness Day, actress Ekta Tiwari, currently starring as Flower in Gudiyarani, highlights the importance of kindness amidst growing social pressures. In today’s fast-paced world, kindness often takes a backseat. As Ekta notes, increased stress and anxiety, the rise of social media, and a focus on personal achievements over collective well-being may contribute to this. The normalization of incivility, coupled with fewer face-to-face interactions, has led to a noticeable decline in the simple acts that connect people.

She emphasizes the power of active listening, noting that “Sometimes, all someone needs is someone to truly hear them.” Ekta also champions small gestures like smiling and making eye contact, which can brighten someone’s day.
Ekta’s advice on practicing self-kindness is also crucial. Staying grounded, prioritizing self-care, and setting realistic expectations can help people show compassion to themselves, building resilience in the face of life’s demands. Ekta, known for her balanced approach to life, believes that cultivating empathy starts with treating oneself with kindness—a habit that ripples outwards.
Celebrating World Kindness Day, Ekta encourages everyone to perform random acts of kindness, engage in volunteer work, and share positive stories. “A single act of kindness can throw out roots in all directions,” she says, echoing Amelia Earhart’s words. Ekta’s commitment to kindness reminds us that compassion isn’t just a grand gesture; it’s in the small, often-overlooked actions that brighten lives.
