Shonali Nagrani told about the pain of divorce

Shonali says, “I was emotionally broken at one point and had no energy for work, family, or investing in myself. I hated myself and my self-esteem plummeted. 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."

'Tandav' changed Shonali's fate

The actress further revealed that destiny had a better plan and at the same time she got a call from a casting company and soon she got a role in the web show 'Tandav'. Shonali says, "It felt like a miraculous turn. I didn't even have to audition for the character and before I knew it, I was signing the contract at the producer's office. That project introduced me to the industry." And saved the city from being abandoned."

However, soon after he got his first project after a long break, the pandemic struck and work slowed down again. 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 face and work through my past pain. I isolated myself and refused to 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'. She says, “I believe our industry is beautiful and it just keeps on giving you work. All you have to do is stay positive."

 Shonali considers marriage as the biggest teacher

The actress admits that her new outlook on life has changed her approach to art. She says, “Most actors doubt themselves for a scene, but going through tough times has taught me not to take life and myself too seriously. You have to be able to laugh at yourself and face adversity. From that point of view, my marriage was my greatest teacher."

When Shonali was asked if she misses a partner? So he said, “I have been single for the last four years and I am loving every bit of it. Of course, I miss a partner, but it is for a short period. I might have developed trust issues, but I haven't tested them yet." As of now, we wish the actress to find a new partner.
