MUMBAI : Actor Pavleen Gujral, best known for playing Pamela in the award-winning 2015 film "Angry Indian Goddesses", says there was a time when she had nearly gone into depression.

"Right after 'Angry Indian Goddesses', I took a sabbatical from acting as I wanted to concentrate on being a new mother. After a year or so when I got back to work I realised that offers had thinned, as it is this industry is also about out of sight, out of mind, I felt dejected and had nearly gone into depression," she recalled.

Then she realised that patience is very important in the entertainment industry.

"So I started meditating every day, worked harder, and was able to overcome it. Soon offers started to pour in," she said.
