Women in the present era are the epitome of independence, elegance, and strength. These traits are, indeed, passed on through many generations. Most women can influence other women, run a business, can take care of the entire family, and whatnot. Despite being capable of handling numerous things single-handedly, women are kind of running away from relationships and choosing to remain single. According to sources, more and more married women are separating from their partners to live life on their terms; to be more independent. Although, the woman herself goes through a lot of trauma after the divorce, yet, even in the modern world divorced or separated women are often considered taboo.
Spouses cheating on each other, incompatibility between partners, disrespect, financial aspects, domestic violence, etc., there could be a hell of lot of reasons behind married couples separating their ways. Though it’s not right to stay in a marriage where there is no love or respect, society and the women themselves often discourage divorce. What will happen to the future of the kids? How will I support myself financially? And needless to say, the mental and emotional trauma of ‘What will the people think?’ refrains a woman from even thinking about divorce and forces her to stay in a traumatic marriage.
Time and each one of us has been finding ourselves seeking inspiration from leading Bollywood actresses. Be it trendy clothes, new hairstyles, subtle make-up, etc., the Bollywood divas have always inspired us in several ways. So, why not learn to be independent and fierce from them? Our Bollywood actresses have proved that being in a traumatic marriage is not a good idea for a healthy and happy lifestyle. It’s better to consider divorce than dumping your entire being for a person who doesn’t understand your worth.
Divorce is not the end of life. No woman needs a manly figure in her life to support her emotionally, mentally, or financially. She needs love, respect, and understanding.
So, gear up woman, take the mantle of your life in your hands, fight for your happiness, and lead a happy, independent, and fearless life.
Seek inspiration from below mentioned Bollywood actresses who choose to live life on their terms rather than becoming an artefact in their own life.

Amrita Singh: The superstar of the ’80s, Amrita Singh debuted her acting career with the romantic blockbuster movie Betaab. ‘Chameli ki Shaadi’ famed actress married the then-struggling actor Saif Ali Khan in 1991 where the love affair and the marriage itself became the talk of the town. Amrita took a break from movies after marrying Saif and diverted her focus to raising her kids, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan. After a long break of 10 years, Amrita reappeared on the silver screen in 2002 in the movie ‘23rd March 1931: Shaheed’ in which she played the role of Bhagat Singh’s (played by Bobby Deol) Mother.

In one of the interviews, Amrita’s daughter Sara said that her mother has started smiling again after the divorce. In the talk show ‘Rendezvous with Simmi Garewal’ (June 1999), Amrita said that she was “Bindas, outspoken, self-sufficient (added by her husband Saif), head-strong, didn’t live by any rules, and laid down by anyone.” We believe that Amrita is still the same, listening to her heart and living her life gloriously.
Life is not a piece of cake, not when you are a child, not when you are young and single, not when you are in a relationship, not when you are happily married, not when you are in a traumatic marriage, and absolutely not when you are divorced. But, it’s never the end of life when you decide to dissolve a toxic relationship, or part ways with your spouse. Trust yourself and believe in your capabilities, then the life ahead will be as you want it to be, a piece of cake, or an entire cake with cherry on the top!!!!
