The process of grief
After the actor’s death, Shehnaaz took time off from her work commitments. Sharing her experiences, the actress revealed that much like others, she too thought about the tough time she was undergoing.
“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”, the actress revealed.

However, it was during this time that she pulled herself out of the downward spiral by realizing that the other person’s journey has ended, not hers. She adds that despite the outcome of others, she is still interested in walking down her own life’s path. She further added that hurting one’s self or slipping into post-traumatic depression would not help anyone in their process of healing.
The importance of positivity
Shehnaaz also revealed how she has worked on her patience and positivity levels in life as well. From dealing with such a public loss so early on in life to taking an open stand on mental health and grief, we’re very proud of Shehnaaz and how far she has come.
