Mumbai: Bigg Boss 17
contestant and actress Soniya Bansal has announced her decision to leave the
entertainment industry, citing a deep desire for inner peace over external
success. In a candid interview with the media, the actress opened up about the
emotional toll of fame and why she’s stepping away from acting to embrace a
more fulfilling path. Soniya, known for her roles in films like Naughty Gang,
Dubki, Game 100 Crore Ka, and Shoorveer, revealed that despite achieving money,
fame, and popularity, she felt emotionally empty. “In the race to be perfect,
stay relevant, and earn more, I lost myself,” she shared. “You may have
everything on the outside, but if you’re not at peace within, it’s a dark place
to be.” Her brief stint in Bigg Boss 17, where she was the first contestant to
be evicted, brought her into the limelight but also highlighted the mental
pressure of staying visible and relevant in the industry. “This industry gave
me recognition, but not stillness. It didn’t allow me to breathe,” she said.
Now, Soniya plans to reinvent herself as a life coach and spiritual healer,
helping others find clarity and purpose something she struggled to find in
showbiz. “I don’t want to pretend anymore. I want to live authentically, for
myself,” she stated. Though she still has an upcoming role in the Telugu film
Yes Boss, Soniya seems determined to transition into a more mindful and
grounded chapter of her life. With a following of 6.5 million on Instagram, she
hopes to use her platform for more meaningful connections and to inspire
personal growth. She also found popularity through music videos like Khudgarze,
Farak, and Zindagi Do Roz Ki, but says she’s now focused on a life built on
truth and healing not the spotlight.
