Shambhavi Sharma first gained recognition in 2007 as a contestant of MTV Roadies 5.0. Now he has once again returned to the show through ‘Roadies 21: Rebirth’. During the show he talked about his personal struggles and why he decided to come back to Roadies after almost 15 years. The former reality show contestant made several emotional revelations about her difficult marriage, alleged mental torture and the ‘identity crisis’ she felt after giving up her career for love.
Shambhavi Sharma left her career for love at the age of 21
Shambhavi told that she entered into a relationship at the age of 18 and got married at the age of 21. After just three months of marriage, she moved to Australia with her husband and left behind her established career in India. Although she was earning well through MTV, she decided to leave everything for her relationship. During the conversation, she did not take the name of her husband, but this relationship is seen to be linked to Sooraj Berry, son of actor Sudesh Berry.
Shambhavi Sharma survived by eating bread
Recalling her life spent in Australia, Shambhavi said that gradually she lost her identity and her life had become like that of a ‘robot’. According to her, her in-laws had stopped providing financial support and her husband’s income was not enough to meet the household expenses. He also recalled a time when he did not even have money to buy food and had to survive only on bread and water. Eventually, she took over the family’s financial responsibilities and became the primary applicant for a visa, while her husband became dependent on her.
Husband was not happy with Shambhavi Sharma’s success
Talking about their relationship, Shambhavi Sharma said, ‘I used to take decisions in this relationship.’ She also alleged that her husband had become insecure about her professional success. She questioned his honesty and also asked how his company sponsored him. She also talked about facing mental torture and termed that period as a terrible experience. ‘I was in a cage,’ she recalled.
Shambhavi Sharma tried suicide twice
The contestant told that this mental trauma had a very bad effect on his health. Despite working continuously for 48 hours and trying to manage everything, he started having problems in thinking (brain fog) and his physical health also deteriorated. She admitted that she had completely lost herself, there was no hope left and she had twice considered committing suicide.
Shambhavi still follows her husband on Instagram
Eventually, Shambhavi returned to India and rebuilt her professional life. She studied law and became a lawyer in the Delhi High Court, where she mainly handles matrimonial cases. She also revealed that her husband later returned to Mumbai so that he could fulfill his dream of becoming an actor. Interestingly, Shambhavi is following Sooraj Berry on Instagram and has also been seen commenting on his posts. However, she has not revealed anything publicly about the current status of her relationship nor has she clearly said that the person she mentioned in the show is Sooraj Berry. You can watch ‘Roadies’ on TV as well as on two OTT platforms.
