Brides Today: How have your views on relationships evolved?

Sanya Malhotra: “I’ve been single for a while now, and my focus has shifted to ‘me, myself, and I’. I’ve been working on my mental health and taking care of myself. I’m truly glad that I got this time to work on myself and get to know myself better, because when you’re with someone, one’s attention gets divided. I’m 29, single, and I think I know myself pretty well.”

BT: That is such a wonderful space to be in. What inspired you to take such an important decision?
