Pavitra talks about her difficult days

Speaking with ETimes, Pavitra said, “The most challenging time for me when I came out of Bigg Boss. It was the darkest period of my life when I didn’t have work, and the money I earned from Bigg Boss had run out while taking care of my family. It’s not about being rich, but rather about responsibility.”

Pavitra added, “After coming out of Bigg Boss on November 28^th, my life took a drastic turn when, on December 27^th, my father met with an accident. The following one and a half years were incredibly challenging, marking the darkest phase of my life. I found myself on the brink of depression, struggling with thoughts of suicide. It was an immensely difficult time, and I truly believe that the love of my family saved me.”
