We had the good fortune of connecting with Anya Kalia and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Anya, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
One of the most important factors in the entertainment industry is having motivation. It can definitely be easy to feel discouraged, but striving forward is key. One of the things that I like to do when this happens is to watch a lot of motivational videos. It can really help boost your mood and better develop your mindset to something that is more positive!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Acting has always been a strong passion of mine. I always knew that I wanted to pursue the field professionally. I am very grateful for all of the projects and opportunities I have gotten. Along my journey, I have learned that it is extremely important to stay motivated and believe in yourself. The results will definitely be worth it!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
San Diego has many places that are worth visiting! I definitely recommend checking out the beautiful beaches. Although there are so many places to go, one of my favorites is Balboa Park. It is a popular location and hosts many events! Also, the UTC mall has a lot of eateries to choose from and it is really fun to go ice skating there with friends!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My parents have always been so supportive of my dreams! I am entirely grateful for them. They are always there for me when I need guidance on something. Their support and efforts mean so much to me. I am very thankful that I have a lot of friends that are also very encouraging. It is important to surround yourself with positive and uplifting people!
