Sargun Mehta: Disappointments are a part of life
New Delhi, June 13
Actress Sargun Mehta, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film "Carry On Jatta 4", echoes the spirit of the upcoming film and says that disappointments may come daily, weekly or monthly, but one must adopt the attitude of perseverance and keep moving forward.
Talking to IANS, if there has been a phase in her life where the mantra of "Carry On Jatta" she has used: "I think that disappointments are a part of life. Many times we think that we want many things, but we don't get them, or we think that we can do it, but we can't."
"And it happens literally, maybe sometimes on a daily basis, sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly. But the attitude should be 'Carry On Jatta'."
The first installment of Carry On Jatta was released in 2012. It is directed by Smeep Kang and stars Gippy Grewal and Mahie Gill. The second and third installments featured Gippy alongside Sonam Bajwa. It was released in 2018 and 2023, respectively.
The fourth part will release in June 26. The film revolves around an entirely new web of hilarious lies, mistaken identities, and structural family chaos.
The 37-year-old, who is one of the highest-paid Punjabi actresses, began acting in her college, and later ventured into television roles, having made her screen debut in 2009 with 12/24 Karol Bagh.
Her notable roles include Phulwa, Kya Huaa Tera Vaada and Balika Vadhu.
She made her film debut in 2015 with the Punjabi film Angrej and was then seen in films such as Love Punjab and Lahoriye, Qismat, Qismat 2, Surkhi Bindi and Saunkan Saunkanay.
Sargun made her Hindi film debut with the 2022 film Cuttputlli directed by Ranjit M. Tewari. A remake of the 2018 Tamil film Ratsasan written and directed by Ram Kumar, it stars Akshay Kumar, Rakul Preet Singh, Joshua LeClair and Chandrachur Singh.

She's right, disappointments are part of life. But honestly, sometimes it feels like the entertainment industry celebrates mediocrity. I hope Sargun uses her platform to talk about real issues too, not just promote films.
Carry On Jatta series is hilarious! Gippy Grewal and Sargun Mehta make such a great combo. The trailer for Part 4 looks promising—can't wait to see more of that family chaos. 😂 Eidi for all Punjabi cinema fans!
Interesting perspective from Sargun. It's refreshing to see an Indian actress talk about resilience without being overly dramatic. I've been following Punjabi cinema lately—there's so much heart and humor in it. Hope this film does well! 🎬
Her advice is spot on. As someone who faces daily rejections in my field, this 'Carry On Jatta' mantra keeps me going. But I also think we need to talk about mental health more openly—perseverance is great, but so is asking for help when needed.
Sargun did such a good job in Qismat and Saunkan Saunkanay! I'm glad she's getting more recognition in Bollywood too. Carry On Jatta 4 is going to be full of laughter—just what we need these days. Stay strong, girl! 💪
