MUMBAI: Actress Rasika Dugal has spoken about what keeps her inspired, ranging from literature and music to podcasts.

She also shared her happiness about figure skater Alysa Liu’s triumphant comeback, which stands out as a major source of motivation, along with books, songs, and insightful conversations.

Rasika took to Instagram, where she shared a picture of herself playing with her hair as she wrote: “In search of inspiration… Always looking for something to wiggle the way I’m feeling…Some things that have been a source of inspiration in the last few months…(Long caption alert)”

She wrote about Liu, a Gold in figure skating at the Winter Olympics, and her “absolutely joyous, victorious comeback probably tops the list for me. The best comeback story - so skillful, so joyous, and on her own terms this time!”

The actress added: “Sonia and Sunny and their loneliness had my heart in Kiran Desai’s most beautifully written novel. If you’ve been a young person in India in the ’90s, you might cry from relatability to it. I am so taken in by the book that I still dream of it sometimes.”
