Lena Dunham breaks silence about her hiatus from the industry: 'It was a painful metamorphosis'
After nearly a decade away from the screen, Girls creator and actress Lena Dunham is stepping back into the spotlight. She is now reflecting on the emotional and personal toll that led her to step away from the industry for the past eight years. In a candid interview with The Times, Dunham opened up about why she took an 'intentional break' from acting following the end of her HBO series in 2017, and how she's returning with a new perspective in her upcoming OTT series Too Much. Dunham revealed that after Girls ended, she struggled with the boundaries between her public and private life. She said, 'I didn't really understand how to distinguish between what was and wasn't necessary for the public.' She admitted that she once believed sharing more of herself would change public perception: 'I thought if I explain properly who I am… people are going to have a different perception of me. But no one cares—and that's fine. ' Rehab, Reflection, and Recovery During her hiatus, Dunham entered rehab for an addiction to prescription anxiety medication, which she said was tied to managing physical pain. She expressed her emotions by saying, 'I felt like all the maturing and changing that had been kept at bay by the experience of being in that cocoon of the show was suddenly happening at a speed that was overwhelming. It was a painful metamorphosis,' she added. A Softer Return with Too Much Now, Dunham is returning with Too Much, a romantic dramedy premiering on OTT on July 10. The series stars Meg Stalter as Jessica, a New Yorker who moves to London after a breakup and falls for an indie musician played by Will Sharpe. Dunham co-created the show and plays Jessica's sister, drawing inspiration from her own life, including her move to London and marriage to musician Luis Felber.

'In the beginning, no one said anything when the narration was done. But then director Akshat talked to me. He told us that in this season we have inserted a scene where Sachiv ji and Rinki will kiss. The scene was different earlier. Both of them are in the car; she falls down, and then they kiss," she remarked. Saanvika stated that she gave the request some thought, taking into account both her comfort level and Panchayat's close ties to family audiences. 'So I said, 'Give me two days to think about whether I am comfortable doing it or not. Then I thought that 'Panchayat' has all kinds of audiences, but mostly family people. I was worried about how he would react, and I was also not comfortable. So I refused at that time. But when we were shooting, they removed that scene, but they inserted the tank scene," she stated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The situation felt awkward during filming, even though the producers did their best to reassure her about how the scene would be handled.
