Shefali Shah is basking in the success of 'Delhi Crime' season 3. The actress has been a part of projects that have made her create a niche for herself. The 'Dil Dhadakne Do' actress has cemented her position in the industry. And even when it comes to her personal life, she is quite content. Shefali keeps sharing tid bits with her family on social media and fans adore the moments.
In a recent interview, Shefali opened up about her first marriage with Harsh Chhaya. The two got married in 1994 and parted ways in 2000. She then went on to marry producer Vipul Shah the same year. Now, Shefali has said that being in that marriage felt like it could kill her. She recalled how an unhappy relationship could drain a person.
"It could kill"
"Nobody told me that you are enough. You don't need a husband, a friend, a brother, a sister to be complete," she told Zoom. "So if you have great relationships, fantastic. But if you don't, that's not going to determine your value. Nobody told me that. And obviously, you go through things and you realise it yourself. It comes to a point where it's make or break for you of yourself. That is when the realisation dawns. It may be happening every day, but then there's that one moment when you realise, 'Okay, this can kill me. I can't do this anymore," she added.
On walking out
Shefali went on to add that the realisation came to her when a friend asked if she would risk to stay single for the rest of her life or continue to remain in this unhappy marriage. It was then that she thought she had to get out and take that risk. She also added that with time she realised that one can't satisfy everyone.
"I cannot remain in a situation that doesn't bring me joy and confidence or make me feel valued. That's when I decided to move out and live alone for the first time, having always lived with my parents. As you age, you begin to care less. You become weary of trying to please everyone. That's when I reached a state of enlightenment, realizing that I am not pizza; I can't satisfy everyone," she mentioned.
