Seema Sajdeh, known for her appearances on Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, reflects on life after her divorce from actor Sohail Khan—sharing her personal experiences of change, healing, and self-discovery. She’s joined by Avantika Malik, who opens up for the first time about her separation from actor Imran Khan. The conversation, hosted by Janice Sequeira, takes place on the first episode of The Healing Circle, powered by coto—an emotional wellness platform offering round-the-clock access to mental health and wellness experts. Together, they explore themes of identity, resilience, and personal growth after going through major life transitions.
Seema Sajdeh, Avantika Malik open up on divorce, healing and self-worth
Seema Sajdeh reflects on her post-divorce transformation. She said, “In a way, the divorce was a catalyst—it forced me to learn and grow. You become so complacent in a marriage that you start blaming your partner for everything. But relationships are hard, they require work every single day. There’s so much I’ve had to figure out on my own—like something as basic as health insurance after I had surgery. I had to learn it all. I think I’m blossoming now, not because of the divorce alone, but because I’ve grown up. I’m independent, I can support myself, take care of myself. I have the confidence to walk into a restaurant alone, eat a meal, travel solo—and feel complete. We become so co-dependent that we end up blaming the marriage. But the truth is, I just hadn’t learned how to be by myself.”
Avantika Malik shared the emotional weight of her divorce, explaining it wasn’t about societal stigma but the perception of a “golden couple” falling from grace, and how she coped with the journey of change. She stated, “I was so co-dependent that I didn’t even know how to book a flight or do phone banking—I hadn’t done anything on my own when I was married. I was a half-human. I lacked confidence in myself and I thought I couldn’t survive a day after my marriage. I wasn’t even earning a living at the time. Therapy threw up a lot of awareness, and secondly, spirituality helped, because there was a lot of awareness that therapy brought up, and spirituality gives it perspective. It’s only when perspective shifts, you can transform from within.” She added, “Different things work for different people—if one isn’t spiritual, lean towards meditation. The goal is to focus on being the best version of myself.”
Like Seema, Avantika also turned to Buddhist practices as part of her healing journey. The Healing Circle, powered by coto, creates space for honest, often unspoken conversations—bringing real experiences to light to remind us we’re not alone. The first episode touches on emotional truths that many relate to, but rarely talk about.
The Healing Circle streams exclusively on Janice Sequeira’s YouTube channel, with new episodes every Tuesday and Friday.
