One of the most successful Indian choreographers (dancers) is Shakti Mohan. In a recent interview, Ms. Mohan talked about the emotional healing process after being cheated on in a past relationship during a very painful time in her life. While she is known for her power and elegance as a dancer, she opened up about being human as well with respect to feelings of vulnerability and how this experience has helped her grow emotionally.
A painful betrayal
Shakti Mohan went on to talk about how difficult it was for her to deal with the betrayal once she found out about it. Initially, she found this revelation to be overwhelming emotionally and was left questioning whether or not she could trust someone again. As with many people who have been cheated on, the initial shock caused her to lose faith in her own judgment regarding the person she was with and helped her learn how to deal with betrayal and emotional impacts of this type and work toward rebuilding her confidence after the experience. As a professional actress, Shakti said that she is a performer and can put on a strong front, but in each case of heartache is just like every other person.

Emotional Aftermath and Healing
The emotional scars from the infidelity experienced by Ms. Mohan were numerous and painful, but she is happy to report that she has healed from many of them and uses those painful experiences to help motivate her to be the best person she can be. At one point during the course of her emotional recovery Ms. Mohan experienced extreme emotional self-doubt, anger and extreme sadness following her relationship with her ex-boyfriend. Nevertheless, Shakti Mohan used all that energy to learn from the experience and not to allow the pain to influence her forever or dominate her thoughts regarding future relationships.
Rather than focusing on the external world, what she found was healing and self-care while dancing. She attributes much of that healing to spending time dancing, meditating and being with her family. Dance transcended beyond being a profession to a means of therapy and a powerful tool of releasing her sorrow.
In addition, she had to acknowledge that she must honor her feelings and not hide from them in order for her to move forward. To her, true healing happened when she fully felt her experiences and accepted the events that happened as they were!

She stated that trust is important, but it must not be an obstacle to respect for oneself. Going forward, she learned the importance of setting boundaries and recognizing red flags in her relationships.
Lastly, Shakti made it clear that she doesn’t have a cynical view of love. She is focused on being more mindful and emotionally mature in the way she approaches relationships.

Empowering Others Through Honesty
Shakti Mohan shared her story to inspire others suffering from similar issues, such as heartbreak. Despite feeling like they are suffering alone, she states that no one is alone in these scenarios. She provides comfort to those who find themselves looking up to her not only for being a dancer but also for being a role model.
Additionally, Shakti wants to remind everyone of their worth so that they do not settle for dishonest relationships. Many people remain silent about their emotional pain due to societal norms against discussing this type of pain, especially as a celebrity; therefore, she wants to help normalize such conversations so that everyone can learn how to better care for themselves emotionally.
Moving Forward with Strength
Today, Shakti Mohan is at a healthy and happy time in her life. Even though she will likely never completely forget the pain of betrayal, she has utilized her experiences of betrayal to create positive change in herself and grow in self-awareness. She continues to build on her career by inspiring countless fans via her work as a dancer/choreographer while continuing to demonstrate her self-love and resilience.
Ultimately, these stories serve as a reminder that one can rebuild their life, develop a stronger sense of self and personal growth, and move on from bad situations in their life.
