Actress Sumona Chakravarti revealed that she has went through health struggle but has now emerged stronger on the other end. Recently, the actress took to her Instagram, and penned a long note about her healing journey. She wrote, “Happy to resurface after a long time. I’ve been living under a rock for the last two months. I consciously stayed away from social media (for the majority of it atleast). On 4th May, I underwent surgery for the excision of my endometriosis, which had unfortunately progressed massively despite me trying to manage it for years. I guess it was finally time for me to say goodbye to it. I’ve spent the last two months healing-physically and mentally, And today, I can honestly say that I’m well. In fact, very well. My doctor and her team are nothing less than angels to me. For fixing me, taking care of me, and understanding what I was going through when nobody else really could. I will forever be grateful. I’m sharing this not for promotion or sympathy, but simply because this experience has brought about a massive shift in my perspective towards life”.

 

She further mentioned, “From wanting to delete WhatsApp and Instagram completely to realising that it really wasn’t a practical move. After all, I’m not retiring to the mountains just yet. I have work. Family. Friends. Life. What I do want to change, however, is the way I use social media. I was never chasing the number game-be it likes, comments or followers. What I’d like instead is to build a community of like-minded humans. Especially women. A space where we can talk about health-physical and mental, perimenopause, endometriosis, general wellness, travel, places you’ve visited or want to, books I’ve read, plants, dogs, cats, food, choosing to be single, being independent, being child-free, or simply being a DINK (Double Income, No Kids) couple. These are just ideas in my head that I’m sharing, 1 don’t yet know exactly how I’m going to execute them”. She also spoke about the trolls, and how it’s important to slow down in the age of Internet where information travels at lightning speed. Concluding her heartfelt note, the actress said she wants her social media to reflect authenticity rather than perfection. Embracing her scars, age and experiences, she stressed that real life matters more than online validation, hoping to use her platform to inspire and create a positive impact.
