Hollywood star, Rita Dominic, recently delved into the complexities of fame.
In an interview on JoyFM’s Personality Profile with Lexis Bills, she acknowledged the perks of public recognition while also highlighting the challenges it brings, particularly in terms of constraints on authenticity and self-expression.
Rita elaborated on the difficulties of navigating public visibility, addressing the continual scrutiny and expectations inherent in celebrity status.
Addressing the persistent scrutiny and judgments she faces, the renowned actress emphasized that although there has been improvement over time, navigating these challenges remains a personal hurdle. Despite the pleasant aspects of fame and its ability to open doors, Rita candidly expressed her ongoing struggle to be her authentic self, indicating that it has improved but still persists.
In her own words, “The fame is nice. It can open doors, it can do all sorts of pleasant things for you, but there are aspects of it I really don’t like…you can’t really be yourself sometimes. So that’s the part that I struggle with even after how many years, I still struggle with it a little bit. It gets better, yes, over the years, but I still struggle with that scrutiny and those constant judgments.”
Furthermore, Rita highlighted the challenge of people not separating her from the roles she plays in movies, leading to misunderstandings about her true character.
She emphasized the need to separate her real identity from on-screen personas to prevent misunderstandings, expressing that individuals often assume she embodies the characters she portrays, which is not the case.
