Days after announcing her separation from husband Suraj Nambiar and asking for privacy, Mouni Roy Shares his thoughts on forgiveness, healing and moving on from people who have hurt or disappointed you.In a recent conversation with The Free Press Journal, the actress reflected on how her perspective on betrayal and anger has evolved over the years, crediting her personal and spiritual journey for change.
“I will forgive, but I will never forget”
Mouni revealed that while forgiving others comes naturally to her even as a child, forgetting the pain is often more difficult.“When I was young, I forgave very easily and to this day, I do but I can’t forget. Now, I think in my own personal and spiritual journey, I feel that you just have to forgive, God makes you forget,” he said.The actress suggests that healing can be easier if people stop holding on to past wounds and allow themselves to move on.
“You hurt the most”
Explaining why she chooses not to hold onto anger, Mouni compares it to carrying a burden that ultimately harms the person holding it.“If you don’t let it go, you’re the one who gets hurt the most. And sometimes the other person who hurts you doesn’t even think about it, no matter how much pain they’ve caused you,” he said.According to Mouni, practices such as meditation, chanting and spirituality have helped her find peace and perspective over time.
‘I don’t call the man bad’
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 don’t call people bad, but I call their qualities bad,” he explained.
