Reflecting on her parents' divorce, she added,“But I have seen the other side of it as well. When my parents split up, everything changed.” Discussing how her parents' separation influenced her understanding of financial independence, she noted,“That's when I realised the value of financial independence, personality dependent independence.”

She described the emotional pain that accompanies such separations and said that it impacted her parents also.“It hurts. Not only the children but parents feel the pain, too. This is a normal part of many homes today," Pinkvilla quoted 38-year-old Bollywood actress as saying. Sharing an insight, Shruti Haasan said that there are homes where parents stay together for the sake of society and suggested that there is more pain in those homes because it is hidden.
