Actress Sumona Chakravarti, one of TV's popular stars, has carved out a special identity with her excellent performance in The Kapil Sharma Show. Her शानदार कॉमिक टाइमिंग won the hearts of the audience, while she also proved her acting prowess in shows like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain.
Entertainment: Renowned TV and comedy actress Sumona Chakravarti, known for her शानदार कॉमिक टाइमिंग in The Kapil Sharma Show, recently shared a very inspiring story from her personal life. She spoke candidly about body image, health challenges, and the changes that come with age.
From 'Flat Screen' to 'Curvy': A Journey
Sumona revealed that during her 20s, she had to endure taunts about her body shape. People jokingly called her "flat screen." This experience was mentally challenging for her at the time. However, at the age of 35, after battling hormonal changes and a condition like endometriosis, her body changed and she became curvier than before.
Endometriosis is a serious health problem in which tissue similar to the inner lining of the uterus grows in other parts of the body, causing pain, fatigue, and sometimes reproductive problems. Sumona has continuously struggled with this disease, and this experience has made her mentally and physically ber.
Gray Hair and Society's Double Standards
Sumona also questioned the double standards in society regarding women's gray hair. She said that men's white hair is considered a symbol of maturity and attractiveness, while women's gray hair is seen as a sign of aging. She openly flaunts her gray hair, breaking this stereotype.
Sumona believes that women should have the right to make their own life decisions—whether it's about hair color, Botox, or getting married. She says that there should be no fixed standard of beauty and that women should not be burdened by societal pressure.
Vipassana and Spiritual Exploration
In 2011, Sumona adopted several spiritual paths in search of mental and emotional peace. She practiced Vipassana meditation, which is a 10-day silent retreat. During this time, she completely disconnected from the outside world and tried to reconnect with herself. This experience proved to be extremely transformative for her.
Sumona Chakravarti has also worked in popular TV shows like 'Bade Achhe Lagte Hain' besides The Kapil Sharma Show. Her शानदार कॉमिक टाइमिंग, screen presence, and natural acting have made her a favorite of millions of viewers. But behind the screen, she has faced challenges like mental health, physical changes, and social expectations with determination.
