And in a world that often feels overwhelming, they offer us the most powerful medicine of all: belonging," Uzma Watch

Meet actress, was once a star, was tortured and beaten by her mother, fell in love with a married man who also betrayed her.. her name is..
Meet actress, was once a star, was tortured and beaten by her mother, fell in love with a married man who also betrayed her.. her name is.. In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it is usually the dazzling lives of actors that take the center stage. However, what happens behind the scenes when the curtain falls is a lot more than what meets the eye. Behind the picture-perfect life of actors is a dark reality that is far from what's shown on the screen. One such similar tale is of a famous Television actress who was quite successful in her professional life, but her personal life unfortunately entailed a lot of struggles and challenges, and that too from the one who got her into this world. The actress we are talking about is none other than Seema Kapoor. Seema is a famous TV personality and is known for her negative roles. She has appeared in many high TRP soap operas like Kurukshetra, Hum Saath Saath Hain, Hasratein, Bidai, Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai, and Naagin. In a recent interview, Seema spoke about some personal details of her life and also opened up on how her mother used to torture her. As he speaks about being a victim of child abuse, she emphasises how sometimes deep wounds come from the people who bring you into this world. Speaking more on that, she shared how her mothers used to torture her and other kids. So much so that the actress was even afraid of calling her mother. But it was not only her but even the neighbours felt her pain. 'Their children used to stand on the stairs for many hours. Our neighbours also used to feel pity for us and used to call us to their house. They used to say come and drink some water. But we were so scared of our mother that she would get angrier with us again. Our mother was very strict and used to beat us a lot.' Seema further added that the dynamic between the two was so bad that the actress's friends questioned if they were biologically related. 'My mother used to torture me in a way that you can't even imagine. This was a kind of child abuse that happened to me. I started getting scared of the word mother. I used to go to my friends' houses only when their fathers were at home. All my friends used to ask me if I had a stepmother,' she said. However, this wasn't the first that Seema Kapoor has spoken about her mother and family. In a previous interview, she also openly spoke about her relationship with her mother She had told that her mother came from a very rich family and was very arrogant. When she was 6 years old, her parents separated. Initially, Seema had decided to live with her mother, but seeing her mother's behavior, she called her father, and then she shifted in with her father. Besides this, speaking of her love life, it wasn't any less turbulent. Seema's childhood trauma made her reluctant to trust anyone again. However, she did find herself falling for a man who later also betrayed her. The man she fell in love with was already married; however, he told Seema that he was divorced. Later, she discovered the truth, which left her stunned. Seema Kapoor's story highlights how there are some painful secrets buried behind the picture-perfect life of celebrities.
