TV actor Mohit Malhotra, renowned for his performances in popular shows such as Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Sasural Genda Phool, Jamai Raja, Bhagya Lakshmi, Naagin, and Daayan, recently shared his personal reflections on how the summer season influences his mood, energy levels, and nostalgic memories. The actor, who first gained widespread recognition as a contestant on Splitsvilla 2 before making his Bollywood debut in Vikram Bhatt's Hacked, emphasized that for him, summer is a time for slowing down and enduring the heat simultaneously.
Childhood Summers in Delhi
Recalling his formative years in Delhi, Malhotra described the distinct atmosphere of summers during his childhood. He said, “Delhi summers had their own vibe growing up. I remember school vacations, endless cricket sessions on the ground right in front of the house, coming back completely exhausted, and then somehow going back out again in the evening.” He further noted the simplicity of those days, adding, “There was something very uncomplicated about those days. No phones, no constant distractions… just genuine excitement over the smallest things.”
Impact on Current Mood and Energy
When discussing how the season affects him now, the actor admitted that summers can be physically draining but also bring a certain lightness. “Yeah, I think every season affects you differently. Summers can feel slightly draining physically… especially with hectic schedules… but weirdly, they also carry a certain lightness to them,” he explained. For Malhotra, the longer days, evening drives, vacations, mangoes, and childhood nostalgia all contribute to a shift in mood. He observed, “I think summers make people a little more emotional without them even noticing it.”
Advice for Fans
When asked what advice he would offer his fans, Malhotra kept it simple and practical. “Don't ignore rest just because you're busy. Everyone talks about productivity, but in this heat, listening to your body is equally important. Hydrate properly, sleep well, slow down when needed,” he advised. He concluded with a reminder to savor the season rather than rushing through it: “And honestly… summer feels much better when you stop trying to rush through it and actually enjoy parts of it.”
