Actor Sara Ali Khan recently opened up about the emotions she experienced when she saw Alia Bhatt\u2019s achievements<\/a><\/strong>. She admitted that she went through a moment of jealousy after witnessing Alia\u2019s personal and professional milestones.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reflecting on Alia\u2019s recent National Award win at a recent event held by NDTV, Sara said, \u201cWhen Alia got the National Award, I was like, \u2018God, she got it, she has a kid also, her life is set\u2019. But I don\u2019t know what she went through to get that. I, as an actor, dehumanised her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cYou don\u2019t know, she must have had challenges and disappointments too, to reach where she has. But I didn\u2019t realise what went into it. There are two sides to every coin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite this feeling, the Sky Force actor also shared an insightful perspective on envy, explaining, \u201cMost often, when we are envious of other people, we feel so without all the information. We are envious because we just see that success and then we want that. We don\u2019t see what goes behind it; we never see it. Envy means blindness.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, how does envy manifest in personal and professional relationships, and what are its underlying psychological triggers?<\/b><\/p>\n

Sonal Khangarot, licensed rehabilitation counsellor and psychotherapist, The Answer Room, tells indianexpress.com<\/a>, \u201cEnvy is a deeply human emotion. Whether in personal relationships<\/a><\/strong> or professional spaces, envy often stems from our inherent need for validation, success, and belonging. However, what we see on the surface is rarely the full picture. Understanding envy, its triggers, and its impact can help individuals navigate these feelings in a healthier way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

She adds, \u201cEnvy in personal relationships can arise from perceived imbalances \u2014 when one friend seems to have a more fulfilling relationship, a smoother family dynamic, or greater life stability. Professionally, it emerges when peers achieve milestones we aspire to, whether it\u2019s recognition, financial success, or a particular career trajectory.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Festive<\/a>
\nWhy is it common for people to only see the surface-level success of others and how to cultivate a nuanced understanding?<\/b><\/p>\n

According to Khangarot, this tendency is fuelled by:<\/p>\n

\u2013 The Highlight Reel Effect: Social media and public personas rarely showcase struggles, failures, or personal hardships.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Emotional Projection: When we feel stuck or dissatisfied<\/a><\/strong>, we project an idealised version of others\u2019 lives, assuming they are free from challenges.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Lack of Context: We only see the outcome \u2014 awards, relationships, stability \u2014 but not the years of hard work, sacrifices, or setbacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo cultivate a nuanced understanding of success, one must practice perspective-taking \u2014 reminding oneself that every achievement comes with its struggles. Engaging in meaningful conversations rather than assumptions helps humanise others\u2019 journeys,\u201d she notes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
