Days after announcing her separation from husband Suraj Nambiar and requesting privacy, Mouni Roy Shares her thoughts on forgiveness, healing and moving on from those who hurt or let you downIn a recent conversation with The Free Press Journal, the actress reflected on how her approach to betrayal and resentment has evolved over the years, crediting her personal and spiritual journey for change.
‘I would have forgiven, but I could not forget’
Mouni revealed that forgiving others came naturally to her even when she was younger, it was often very difficult to forget the hurt.“When I was very young, I used to forgive very easily and till today, I did but I could not forget. Now, I think with my own personal and spiritual journey, I think you just have to forgive, God forget you,” he said.The actress suggested that healing becomes easier when people stop holding on to past wounds and allow themselves to move on.
‘You will suffer the most’
Explaining why she doesn’t want to hold on to resentment, Mouni compares it to carrying a burden that ultimately harms the person holding it.“If you don’t let it go, you’re going to be the one who gets hurt the most. And sometimes the other person who hurts you doesn’t even care about it, no matter how big they hurt you,” he said.According to Mouni, practices like meditation, chanting and spirituality have helped her find peace and perspective over time.
‘I’m not badmouthing the person’
While advocating for forgiveness, the actress clarified that she is not suggesting that people should ignore harmful behavior.“There are some bad people who will go out of their way to hurt you. I’m not calling the person evil, but I’m calling their qualities evil,” he explained.
