Aadesh Chaudhary: Happiness, to me, is a state of contentment and fulfilment

Actor Aadesh Chaudary known for his work in shows like ‘Laal Ishq’, ‘Diya Aur Baati Hum’, ‘Desh Ki Beti Nandini’, ‘Main Lakshmi Tere Aangan Ki’, ‘Doli Armaano Ki’ , says that happiness, to him, means being at peace. He adds that he makes sure to enjoy the beauty in everything.

“Happiness, to me, is a state of contentment and fulfilment. It's when I feel at peace with myself, my surroundings, and the people in my life. It's those moments when everything feels right, and I can genuinely appreciate the beauty and simplicity of life. It's not just about joy but also about finding meaning and purpose in what I do,” he says.

He adds, “Happiness does have different levels. There are the small, everyday moments of joy, like enjoying a cup of tea or a beautiful sunset, and then there are deeper, more profound feelings of happiness that come from achieving a long-term goal or spending quality time with loved ones. Each level contributes to the overall sense of well-being.”

Ask him if he thinks peace and satisfaction are important for being happy, and he says, “Peace and satisfaction are crucial for happiness. Peace allows me to stay calm and centred, even in challenging times, while satisfaction comes from knowing that I've done my best and have achieved something meaningful. When I have both peace and satisfaction, I feel a deeper sense of happiness because I know that I'm aligned with my values and living a balanced life.”

Talking about success and happiness, he says, “I do believe that people often mistake success for happiness. While success can bring a sense of accomplishment and temporary joy, it doesn't always lead to true happiness. Happiness is more about inner fulfillment and contentment rather than external achievements. It's important to find a balance and not rely solely on success for our happiness.”

Talking about truly happy moments in his life, he says, “All the projects that I have done till now have brought me immense happiness. The sense of accomplishment and recognition for my hard work makes me feel truly happy. In my personal life, whenever I spend time with my family, I feel an overwhelming sense of love and connection. Those simple yet profound moments of bonding and togetherness bring me immense joy and remind me of what truly matters in life.”
