Sumona opens up about her endometriosis surgery

She later revealed that she had to undergo endometriosis surgery after her health condition became worse. "On 4th May, I underwent surgery for the excision of my endometriosis, which had unfortunately progressed massively despite me trying to manage it for years.

I guess it was finally time for me to say goodbye to it."Further in the post, she spoke about focussing on her physical and mental health and expressed gratitude towards the doctors for taking care of her. "I've spent the last two months healing- physically and mentally. And today, I can honestly say that I'm well. In fact, very well. My doctor, @anshumalaakkalkarni and her team are nothing less than angels to me. For fixing me, taking care of me, and understanding what I was going through when nobody else really could.

I will forever be grateful."

In her post, the actress also clarified that she was not sharing the news of her surgery to seek sympathy. She wrote, "I'm sharing this not for promotion or sympathy, but simply because this experience has brought about a massive shift in my perspective towards life."

On taking a break from social media and not chasing followers or numbers

She shared that taking a break changed her mindset about social media. Although she wanted to delete WhatsApp and Instagram, she later realised she couldn't completely stay away from them.

"After all, I'm not retiring to the mountains just yet," she wrote, adding, "I have work. Family. Friends. Life," she wrote.The Bade Achhe Lagte Hain actor also revealed that she was never in the race of likes, comments or followers. In fact, she wishes social media to became a space to have meaningful conversations, "What I do want to change, however, is the way I use social media. I was never chasing the number game—be it likes, comments or followers.

What I'd like instead is to build a community of like-minded humans. Especially women."She continued, "A space where we can talk about health—physical and mental, perimenopause, endometriosis, general wellness, travel, places you've visited or want to, books I've read, plants, dogs, cats, food, choosing to be single, being independent, being child-free, or simply being a DINK (Double Income, No Kids) couple.

These are just ideas in my head that I'm sharing. I don't yet know exactly how I'm going to execute them.

"Sumona also talked about the trolling she has experience on social media over the years, "One thing I noticed over the years, apart from the usual comments on my posts—which are either trolling some body part of mine or just being perverted and/or crass (and unfortunately, they're almost always from men)—the good folks don't really engage publicly.

They read. They like. They sometimes message me privately. And then they move on.

"The actress has however learnt to deal with criticism, "So, what's the solution? Yes, I'm an actor. A female one. I'll attract a certain gentry. It comes with the territory. I'm going to continue working and acting till my very last breath."She added how she prefers to keep her life private, "I've managed to keep most of my personal life private all these years, and I'd like to continue doing that.

But if there's something from my personal life like my battle with endometriosis—that I know could genuinely help someone out there, I will most definitely share it."She concluded the post, "One of the reasons I'm putting in the effort to write this instead of simply posting a picture is because I'll know how many people are actually willing to slow down, read through it, and decide to stay... maybe even engage! The difference between brewed coffee and instant coffee. You get the gist."On the work front, Sumona has worked in shows like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Comedy Circus, The Kapil Sharma Show, Comedy Nights with Kapil. She has also been a part of films like Kick and Barfi.
