Alaya F on Rejection: “My First Instinct Is to Ask What It’s Teaching Me”
Mumbai– Actress Alaya F says she’s learned to view rejection not as failure, but as a lesson.
“When something bad happens, my first instinct is to ask what it’s trying to teach me and why it’s happening,” Alaya shared. “Maybe it’s a defense mechanism, but it’s a productive one—and it’s my go-to.”
Reflecting on her early career, the actress—daughter of Pooja Bedi—said that before her debut in Jawaani Jaaneman (2020), she was desperate for roles in other films that ultimately didn’t succeed.

She added that looking back, her debut in Jawaani Jaaneman—an unconventional choice—was the best possible start. “It all played out so beautifully. I started trusting that the universe had a bigger plan for me.”
Alaya believes that personal growth fuels professional success. “When I’m thriving emotionally, I thrive in every aspect of my life.”
