In the latest episode, Pooja was seen having a heart to heart conversation with Jiya. She shared that she was the one who decided to end the marriage as she "didn't feel like continuing it".
She went on to say that while her husband was not a bad person, she felt like she had lost herself in her 11-year-old relationship. "It was called off suddenly and it felt like death but people ask if you are okay and people prefer you say so. And later, you go and hide behind alcohol because the bottle delivers. Then I thought that I wanted to set myself free and find myself but I drilled myself more into bad zone," she admitted.
Pooja went on to say, "I pushed myself to the bottom of the pool and suddenly one survivor's instinct crept in and I clawed my way out and I said nahi boss I am not giving up on myself."
The actress added that today, she does not deny that phase, but instead, accepts it bravely, tells the universe that she is now ready.
