Erica Fernandes, the talented actress who rose to fame with her role in “Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi,” has been missing from the small screen for quite some time. Her last appearance was in the popular show “Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2,” where she won the hearts of many with her impressive performance. However, the actress took a break from acting a few years ago and moved to Dubai. In a recent interview, Erica opened up about her past relationship, which was marred by physical and emotional abuse.
According to Erica, her ex-boyfriend, a businessman, had a rather controlling attitude towards her. He wanted her to quit acting and settle down with him, even if it meant giving up her career. Erica recalled that her ex-boyfriend would often say, “You’re an actress, so you must have had many affairs.” She felt that this mindset was not only suffocating but also damaging to her self-esteem. Erica confessed that she is grateful to have moved on from that toxic relationship, which had a profound impact on her life.
In the same interview, Erica spoke about the trauma she experienced in her past relationship. She revealed that she was in a violent relationship, where she faced physical abuse. Erica shared that she didn’t want to talk about it earlier because, as a public figure, she feared that it would become a media sensation. She also didn’t trust the justice system to support her, which is why she chose not to report the incident to the police. The fear of media trials and the subsequent scrutiny was overwhelming for her.
Erica’s experience has had a lasting impact on her life. Even now, when she watches movies or scenes that depict physical abuse, she is reminded of those horrific days. The trauma has been so intense that it took her two years to open up about it. Erica confessed that watching the film “Do Patti” brought back memories of those fateful days, and it was a painful experience for her.
The actress, who has been single for a long time, admitted that she hasn’t been able to move on from the past. The weight of that relationship, the trauma, and the trust issues have made it difficult for her to form new connections. Erica’s story is a testament to the fact that even strong and successful women can be vulnerable to abuse and trauma. Her courage in sharing her story is an inspiration to many, and it highlights the importance of creating a supportive environment where women feel empowered to speak up against abuse.
As Erica continues to navigate her life and career, her fans eagerly await her return to the small screen. With her talent, beauty, and resilience, she is sure to make a comeback that will leave everyone in awe. For now, her story serves as a reminder that it’s essential to prioritize mental health, self-love, and support systems, especially for those who have faced trauma and abuse.
