It’s okay to grieve, but it’s also important to take care of yourself
There is nothing more sad than losing a loved one, friend or family member. Pain, sadness, and feelings of loss can take a heavy toll on us. And although we may try to move on, distracting ourselves by keeping ourselves busy, there is no escaping the grieving process. As we all know, Shehnaaz was also out of work for a long time. She cut off social media, didn’t do any interviews, wasn’t seen at any photo shoots. During that time, the actor revealed that he had a lot of time to think and look inward. She fights with negative emotions, grief, mourning, but at the end of the day, she realizes that it is important to rise above it all and move forward.
Don’t let negative thoughts poison your mind. Speaking to Sister Shivani, Shehnaaz revealed how difficult it is to cope with the loss of a loved one. She said, “Kayi log sochte hain, nahi ab nahi mujhe rehna. Ab to main marr hi jau to accha hai, logon ki wording hai ye. Matlab meri bhi thi ki humein to ab nahi rehna chahiye, humein to aisa karna chahiye. Ab main kya karungi.” However, the actress emphasizes how our thoughts are shaped by our attitude towards life. That the path to positivity is determined by the thoughts in our heads and what we believe in our hearts. No matter how much you are loved by others, family and friends, she says, in the end, it all comes down to how you treat yourself. Accept impermanence As we know, life and death are part of life. Nothing is permanent. Shehnaaz in the video interaction also talked about the same. According to her, lingering on negative and depressed thoughts for a long time will only cause more harm. Instead, she asked viewers and fans to cherish good memories and have a meaningful life. She said: “Humari journey abhi hai, unki journey complete ho chuki hai. Unka kapda change ho chuka hai lekin woh kahin na kahin aa chuke hain. .shakal unki change ho gayi hai but woh dobara iss roop mein aa chuke hain. Unka account just saath abhi ke liye ho gaya hai band…phir can continue oh.”
