Shonali Nagrani told about the pain of divorce

I didn't know when I said goodbye to Shonali who loved to giggle and laugh, but soon I realized I had a choice. Instead of feeling like a victim and living with bitterness or focusing on picking up the shattered things again, I chose to turn my bad situation into a blessing. I did personal growth and self-discovery with it.

The actress, who has hosted several shows including indian Cricket League, says, “I did not work for five years after getting married, which made it difficult for me to restart my career. Like many of us, I tried to engage on social media, but the truth was, I didn't. At one point I was so broken that I thought of leaving mumbai and showbiz and going to Goa."

She says, “It forced me to put my plans on hold as everyone was confined to their homes. However, this unexpected break turned out to be a blessing, as it forced me to data-face and work through my past pain. I isolated myself and refused to data-face the world until I was well. Meditation, yoga, and a nutritious diet proved to be extremely helpful.” Shonali is currently shooting for the second season of the web series 'Sunflower'.
