MUMBAI : Rashami Desai, a well-known television actress, gained prominence following her role as a lead in Uttaran, a show that also starred Nandish Sandhu and Tina Dutta. Years after their love developed on the set, Rashami and Nandish tied the knot. However, their marriage collapsed after a few years, and they were only divorced three years after the marriage began. In a recent interview, Rashami revealed how her health deteriorated and she ended herself on the streets following her divorce from Nandish.
She recalled the days and said, "I had bought a house during that time. I had a loan of almost ₹2.5 crore, and apart from that...I remember there was a total debt of ₹3.25-3.5 crore on me. I thought everything was fine but then suddenly, my show was shut down. I was on the road for four days. I had an Audi A6 and I would sleep in that car. All my stuff was at my manager's house. I was completely cut off from my family. Those days, rickshaw valas would have a meal for ₹20. It used to come in a plastic bag which had daal and chawal mixed and they would give two rotis along with it. It would have some stones also but I ate that anyway. These four days were very difficult."
She further talked about it and said, "I got divorced, even my friends started to think I was very difficult because I wasn't expressive and I would go into my shell. My family thought all my decisions are wrong. I somehow paid off my loan but I was still too stressed all the time. I would not sleep. I would just work continuously. At that time, I started thinking, I would rather die."
Assamese film Kanyadaan marked Rashami's feature film debut. However, the actress became well-known thanks to Uttaran, the daily soap opera.
