The last few years have been challenging for Shonali Nagrani. She struggled to bounce back after her marriage with Shiraz Bhattacharya, a photographer, and cinematographer, hit choppy waters. They tied the knot in February 2013 and went their separate ways in early 2019 owing to irrevocable differences. However, instead of surrendering to her fate, Shonali has managed to pick up the pieces of her life and bounce back. In an exclusive chat, the actress says, “My husband and I parted ways in February 2019 and the divorce proceedings are going on.”
Shonali says, “I was emotionally destroyed at one point, and didn’t have the energy to invest in work, family, or myself. I hated myself and my self-esteem hit rock bottom. I didn’t realise when I bid adieu to the old Shonali, who loved to giggle and laugh. But soon, I felt I had a choice - to feel like a victim and stay bitter or to focus on picking up the pieces. I chose to heal and turn my adversity into a blessing. I used it as a stepping stone towards personal growth and self-discovery.”
