"I took a 1.5-year break. After Janam Janam Ka Saath Hai, I wasn't on TV for 1.5 years. Though I did some work on the web, my return to television is happening after this long break. During this time, I travelled a lot and enjoyed my life," Sneha said.
"When we're doing shows, we hardly get time for ourselves. So I spent this break traveling with my friends and family, taking workshops, learning new skills, and most importantly, exploring spirituality. I truly cherished my spiritual journey. I took time to patiently understand life and reflect on what I wanted next," he said.
She added that sometimes, it's important to pause, observe, and reflect on your journey instead of just running like a local train.
"You have to sit back and think--how did I start, where am I now, and where do I want to go next? This break was essential for me. Even though I wasn't shooting, I was constantly working on myself. In the end, what matters is how well you take care of yourself--mentally, physically, and emotionally."
"Also, the bond you share with your family, your friends, yourself, and your divine connection. And I really enjoyed this phase!"
Talking about what she did in this time, she says, "It was a fantastic time where I explored religion and spirituality deeply. I have never been this calm and composed before. In the past 1.5 years, I have transformed into a completely different person."
"Now, I listen to people more, I am more patient, and I understand things better. Spirituality teaches you that the more you fall in love with the divine, the more you fall in love with yourself--because, in the end, the divine is within you. I don't regret taking this break. I wasn't guilty about it either. I was truly enjoying it. And now that I'm back, I'm ready to work and give my 100 percent."
"I know that once I start shooting, my personal life will take a backseat because we have long 12-13-hour shoots every day. But that's the balance--when you're not working, enjoy life. And when you are working, fully dedicate yourself to your craft."
