• She said she finds forgiving easy but forgetting pain tough earlier
• The actor also mentioned how spirituality helps her forgive and forget now

Actor Mouni Roy has spoken about forgiveness, emotional wounds and the role spirituality has played in helping her move on from painful experiences, days after announcing her separation from husband Suraj Nambiar.

In a conversation with The Free Press Journal, Mouni reflected on how her understanding of forgiveness has changed over time. She said that even in her younger years, forgiving people was never the difficult part; the challenge was forgetting the pain that remained afterward.

"When I was much younger, I would forgive very easily and till date, I do, but I wasn't able to forget. Now, I think with my own personal and spiritual journey, I feel like you just have to forgive. God makes you forget," she said.

Mouni described forgiveness as a process that became easier once she stopped treating hurt as something that needed to be carried indefinitely. According to her, holding on to resentment often causes more suffering to the person who is unable to release it.

"If you don’t let it go, you will be the one who will be hurting the most."

She also spoke about the imbalance that often exists after someone causes pain, saying the person who was hurt may continue reliving the experience long after the other person has moved on.

"And sometimes the other person who hurt you is not even thinking about it, no matter how big a hurt they have caused you," she said.

The actor credited practices such as meditation, chanting and spirituality for helping her find greater peace and clarity in recent years. She suggested that these experiences have changed the way she approaches relationships, disappointment and emotional recovery.

At the same time, Mouni made it clear that choosing forgiveness does not mean denying harmful behaviour or pretending it does not exist. She drew a distinction between judging a person and recognising destructive actions or traits.

"There are some evil people who will go out of their way out of their way to hurt you. I’m not calling the person evil, but I’m calling their qualities evil," she explained.

Her comments have attracted attention because they come shortly after she publicly confirmed her separation and requested privacy. While she did not directly connect the remarks to her personal life, the interview offered a glimpse into the mindset she says has helped her navigate difficult phases and focus on healing rather than bitterness.
