Weeks after confirming her separation from husband Suraj Nambiar and requesting privacy, actor Mouni Roy has shared a deeply personal perspective on forgiveness, emotional healing and finding peace. Talking about the lessons learned through life and spirituality, the actor explained how her relationship with pain, resentment and disappointment has changed over the years.
Forgiveness Came Easy, Forgetting Did Not
During a conversation with The Free Press Journal, Mouni spoke candidly about how she has always found it easy to forgive others, but letting go of painful memories was once a much greater challenege.
“When I was much younger, I would forgive very easily and till date, I do but I wasn’t able to forget. Now, I think with my own personal and spiritual journey, I feel like you just have to forgive, God makes you forget,” she said.
The actor suggested that true healing often begins when people stop revisiting old wounds and allow themselves to move forward rather than remaining tied to past experiences.
Why Holding On To Hurt Can Be More Painful
Sharing her current outlook, Mouni explained that carrying resentment ultimately affects the person holding on to it more than anyone else.
“If you don’t let it go, you will be the one who will be hurting the most. And sometimes the other person who hurt you is not even thinking about it, no matter how big a hurt they have caused you,” she said.
According to the actor, practices such as meditation, chanting and spirituality have played an important role in helping her gain clarity and emotional balance over time.
A Message About Growth, Not Excuses
While advocating forgiveness, Mouni was careful to point out that letting go should not be confused with excusing harmful behaviour.
“There are some evil people who will go out of their way to hurt you. I’m not calling the person evil, but I’m calling their qualities evil,” she explained.
Her remarks arrive shortly after she and Suraj Nambiar announced their separation, stating that the decision was mutual and requesting privacy as they navigate this chapter of their lives.
