Actor Sonam Kapoor Ahuja says artistes shouldn’t restrict themselves only to films and film parties. Rather, people should travel more often, spend time with friends and family, read books and watch films to become the best version of themselves.

“I think if you are an artiste, you need to have a full life. I feel people related with creative fields should travel more often, they should spend time with friends and family. It is also important to read books, watch films and visit museums,” said Sonam, when asked how an artistes of the film industry should plan their time.

“By restricting yourself, your world gets smaller, and you  don’t realise your potential. For that, you have to do proper time management. I think I am passing through a good phase. It’s because I prioritise my time,” she added at the launch of new Pilot watch collection.

Talking about how she manages her time, Sonam said, “Time is the only commodity that goes away. It’s a most precious commodity because there is limited time. So for me, keeping time, being on time, using time effectively and not wasting time is important.”

The actor added that she started wearing watches only over the past few years. “Over the past four or five years, I started wearing watch more often. I think technology has made us more connected and smarter but also a little slower. We can’t actually read time. It takes us a while to read time because we are so used to looking at digital things. So, I decided I will not read time on my phone anymore and I am going to read time on a watch. It’s also very pretty and I like pretty things,” she said.
