Actress and Bigg Boss 17 contestant Soniya Bansal announces her departure from the entertainment industry, citing a lack of inner peace and a desire to pursue a more meaningful path as a spiritual healer and life coach.
Soniya Bansal, known for her participation in Bigg Boss 17 and appearances in films like Dubki and Shoorveer, has made the bold decision to leave the entertainment industry. Despite the fame, recognition, and material success she achieved, Bansal revealed that she struggled with a profound sense of inner emptiness.
In a candid reflection on her journey, Bansal said, “Money, fame, popularity—I had it all. But what I didn’t have was peace. And what use is money if you’re not at peace? You may have everything externally, but if you’re empty inside, it’s a very dark place to be.”
Her decision stems from the realization that the constant hustle for success and validation had distanced her from her authentic self. Although her stint in Bigg Boss 17 was short-lived, Bansal built a considerable fan base and enjoyed visibility in both Hindi and Telugu cinema as well as music videos.
Now, she plans to redirect her life’s purpose toward becoming a life coach and spiritual healer. This new chapter, according to Bansal, is about aligning with her true values and helping others find peace and direction in their lives.
Her story underscores the growing awareness that personal well-being and spiritual fulfillment can often take precedence over external achievements.
