I live alone, and I completely love my solitude and self-dependence. I am 37, single and have been living away from my family for the last 10 years. keep it up my dear
Wow! Cheers to you n to woman empowerment!
But why living away from your family.. I meant to say a person needs his family because that are the only ones as they support you no matter whatever the condition. As dear try to understand what I have said family is really important for a person.
Wow!! This is awesome. Same pinch. This helped me grow up as my own individual self, self-learning journey without any interference.
Living alone for 10 yrs now. A lot of people talk about it, saying things with complete disregard for what i do. In the beginning it used to bother me but now I'm like " kuch to log khenge , unhe kehne do".
Great that as an influencer you're choosing to address this in public. You're speaking for so many of us.
Unbelievable that u r being divorced.
@@lakshmananv6525 how judgemental is that!
That guy was unlucky
True
I left my parents n siblings to marry a Muslim guy (am Hindu), v had problems with his family, thy never accepted me after having 2 daughters, after 5 yrs he left me due to financial problems, when my daughters were 3 n 5 yrs.. After that I searched job for our livelihood as I didn't had anything with me.. I started my life that time from zero.. Now it's 10 yrs, am bringing up my daughters alone without any help (as my parents dnt accept me). It's really painful to live alone in this society.. Pls pray for my daughters... My only aim now is to give my daughters good future.. Now thy r 13 n 15
anitha naidu Will pray for you dear.
@@nutanfatech504 u shd know that u are horrible.
Am glad u moved on.. Everyone makes mistakes.. Some get affected badly.. It was not ur fault. People have narrow mind..
@@nutanfatech504 but definitely you deserve a tight slap
U learned from past mistakes. U moved on. All the best for your future life. Life is beautiful enjoy it. Respect it.
I lost my parents a year ago. I live in my parents' house with a lady who takes care of me and does the household chores as I'm a college student. It was a big deal for my relatives who criticized me a lot for deciding to live in my own house rather than just move in with any of my dad's brothers' families. Moreover, I am a single child and hence the apprehension, right. There is a deep rooted aversion to independence and independent women especially which baffles me..you guys won't believe how much I had to struggle just to stay at my own parents' place. I really liked when you talked about freedom. You have so many options to keep yourself engaged and enjoy your personal space. I'm so glad that I could take the right decision for me and did not fall prey to the pressures of the society and especially my so called family. Great video! Thank you.
More power to you!🤗
Kudos to you..... ❤️
Love to you... may Allah bless you.
God bless you☺
God bless you
I am 25 and started living alone when i was 21...and i love this life... specially when you're independent thats the best feeling in the world...
Going through a divorce right now....and first time writing about it. I am quite strong but do fall out of my strength once in a while, kind of natural i think . This video is so helpful. thanks for making one. :-)
I don't think ppl were upset about you living alone ( I could be completely wrong because in india this is a big deal). I think people were just confused because we recently saw a office makeover/setup which seemed to be at your home, which your current flat doesn't have and secondly people didn't know that you were going/ have gone through a divorce( which by the way is completely your right to share/not share).
Living alone is definitely something that I recommend that every single man and woman does in their lifetime, if you are financially able to do so. Will teach you so much about yourself and make you so much more mature
Didn't notice even a tiny glimpse that u were going through divorce in past years. Truly commendable .
Same! I had no clue she was divorced
If you had been following her older posts on insta and her blog you would have noticed. She had mentioned her marriage and posted pics with her then husband. She posted once in 2017 , I think, that it had been a year since her divorce. Also, she changed her name to Chaturvedi from Srivastav. However, we never saw tanturms or drama on her videos. She always has the calm demeanor most of her followers would not have noticed.
She really has handled all of this gracefully. I have been following Ankita since she was in college and was one of the first beauty bloggers from India. She was one of the OG gurus. This was before the era of TH-cam beauty gurus. Her reviews were always so detailed and honest. Someone whose opinion I relied on. I remember her getting married and moving to Japan, and reviewing products from there. She even did her own wedding makeup and I remember admiring her for doing such a flawless job. I thought her life was as perfect as can be.
Life happened to all of us and slowly I stopped reading beauty and fashion blogs. So much happened in all our lives, good and bad. Then many years later I rediscovered my passion for makeup again and started watching TH-cam gurus. Lo Behold! I rediscovered her recently. She is one of the few OGs who has made a successful transition to TH-cam. I was surprised to see her back in India but didn't give it much thought. She seems to have changed so much yet the same. Still honest, warm and familiar.
Dear Ankita
Some of us here have seen your life journey even if it has been in bits and pieces. We have also experienced a journey of our own with all its trials and joys. You have been a tiny part of ours (even in the form of product recommendations and tutorials).
I'd just like you to know that you have always been graceful in how you have handled yourself and your life; and still continue to be. It's wonderful to see you doing so well and come out strong out of this. Lots of love to you.
@@anyak6057 This is so kind Anya, this made me well up. Thank you so much.
After watching her house tour even I had the same question because I remember her mentioning her husband in a few tutorials. However, I did not post the question. Never expected her to be so forthright and putting things straight. Not that she owes us any explanation. Commendable👍
Living alone with freedom and being independent is the most beautiful thing to be experienced..!! I am single mother and people expected me to stay with my parents..! But the decision to live alone with my son is the best decision i have taken which I can't comprehend in mere words..!! Its the most beautiful feeling to live in freedom, even more beautiful then being in love...!!! ❤️
How can somebody dislike this video?? 🙄
It's the best thing I listened on living alone. And how beautifully she has put everything.
Not complaining, not pointing on anything or anyone at particular
I love living alone but never got a chance to do that.
You are lucky babe.
❤️
You are an emotionally independent woman
We women are proud of you
You speak eloquently
Your words touched my heart
I have lived alone for almost 11yrs. When I was working and that period brought the best in me...I think living alone gives us time to do lot of self-introspection which can bring about a positive change if one stays grounded and focus on things which are going right ....Eating well I believe is very important in order to have a good thought process so all those staying by themselves must take good care and follow a healthy diet...
Being a “beauty” blogger this is the most apt thing to do because confidence is beautiful.
Nice of you to be honest in these times 😍
Living alone makes you appreciate your parents! True that. 👍🏻
I lived alone for 10 yrs and for none of the reasons u mentioned. It was my dream to be independent n move away from family n relationships in general. Even though I struggled those 10 yrs, now wn I look back, I value tht time. It showed me tht I had endurance, and I found peace. If ppl can understand n feel the beauty of solitude, no one wld ask y any1 lives alone. It also has its negatives, like every choice.
Living alone for 3 years & this is awesome. My parents drove me out bcz i volunteer for animal welfare & rescue animals. They hate animals actually. But my 2nd adopted dog, Valentine has become the reason of my freedom from that conservative family... Life was hell there or to say I didn't have a life of my own, i was a robot who wud only tk instructions from parents. And the rebel inside me always wanted to break free. I am grateful for my present life.
Agreed totally,till getting married life will be busy with studies..job...soon after marriage life is job and kids...and slowly we forget to live life of our own....
Atleast by leaving alone for 6 months or 1 year will teach you all the mentioned life skills...I am totally with you..never ashamed or bother society....go girl...
I completely echo your thought !!
Loved it to the core !!
I always feel people completely judge me when I go to watch a movie alone or ask for a table for "one" in a restaurant. Though spending time with your own self is so important and liberating. And so is living alone !! I absolutely love it. Makes me a more responsible and compassionate person !! 😊
I completely agree with you. To add to this I also want to say that when kids get married they should live separately and not with in laws. This just avoids unnecessary friction and unpleasant experiences in the long run.
Married couples should have their own space to live grow and understand each other.
In South Asia in laws just don’t know or want to know to set boundary and the girls always suffers.
True..
This was such a lovely extension to what Ankita said in the video...
Positivelyhappy mom so true
Positivelyhappy mom aapko bacche hai??? Aur shaadi k baad aap apne baccho ko alag kar dengi?????????
Stylish World that’s exactly my plan. I have a way of living , food choices and habits. Why would I want to enforce my ways to someone else ? Living separately from your parents does not mean cutting them off from your life. You can live close to one another and care for them without being on each other’s face.
Everyone is entitled to live how they want to live.
Why can’t a girl live alone?! Really appreciate the way you have explained everything so well. Kudos to you! Keep creating such amazing content❤️
I'm so happy to see this, it gives me courage. Also living alone is WAY BETTER than living with someone you don't wana with. Also I love your soothing voice🥰
I m divorced too and live alone it’s a nice feeling and way of living
And you are absolutely right about getting a thick skin that’s an essential
@@Anisha009 same situation and I enjoy living alone
Me too
Irony is girl can live alone after getting divorce but if she is not married she can't live alone as so callee society will say this and that.
@@onfleek9072 True
I moved to the US when I got married in 2011. Now I have been living alone here after separating from my husband. I was 24 years old when I married and I had never lived alone. So this has been a life revelation for me. It is hard, very hard especially when you are in a different country. But you are right, you learn a lot about yourself when you are alone. Good luck with everything. ❤️
Hey beautiful! This is so transparent!
I am 28 and it's been a year I am living on my own. And trust me, it has taught me how to disconnect from negativity.
And I appreciate your views.
More power to you girl!
U talk in the same manner as my daughter who is pursuing her education love so much I just felt as if I'm listening to my daughter love u may u have all happiness in life
Thank u😘
I have been living alone for over five years for work. No complaints 😁 staying alone has taught me to run home all by myself balancing job and house chores. I feel proud 😊
Are u live alone an apartment
Ma'am it is an inspiring stance that you have taken on behalf of all women who are judged and downgraded for their free spirit and independent thinking by the same people who call themselves 'open-minded' but are actually orthodox. I wish I could have you as my elder sister!
This was a good episode. A different one. Being divorced and staying alone can tear you and make you look aggressive. But you don’t look or talk aggression. Maybe sometime in the future you can make an episode on your marriage/ divorce(if you are comfortable), that will help a lot of viewers who are struggling or looking for help. This is also part of beauty.
This was an interesting video. I live on my own and have also been married , divorced, had a long term partner and lived in several different countries. I think the main thing is realising how strong you are and realizing your resiliance and ability to be self suficient.
Thank you for sharing this experience of living alone, Ankita. Even I have been living alone for like almost 5 years now. Taking care of myself, doing everything on my own, it gives me a joy I can't describe and the most beautiful part is I don't have to depend on anyone for any of my requirements.
I really did not ever get the feeling that you were divorced, I don't see why that would happen you are an amazing person.
Cheers! Live life to the fullest..😊
And your makeup is as amazing as you, waiting for this tutorial..
Thank you for sharing your experience, Pratibha!
About divorce - I've been trying to think of the best way to address this. Divorce isn't necessarily the worst thing to happen to someone. Sometimes you make wrong choices, which seem right at the time, but don't serve you well as time passes. And I'm glad that the law allows two people to exit that arrangement rather than stay together in misery forever, just because it made sense to be together a long time ago. I'm very happy, fulfilled and content with my life :) I've moved on, grown a lot, and found someone I'm happy with 💕
@@corallista wow..I am so glad you did find your someone, Ankita. Everyone deserves that happiness. I am married but me and my husband are forced to live in different cities because of our work requirements. So I have my solitude as well as those times when I actually have our US-time. But you are right, staying alone actually helps you grow so much and in so many ways. Even this quarantine period is unable to dampen my solitude..😅
But on a happier note, I would love to see your bride story,and lots of love and luck..❤️
@@corallista and divorce was a chapter of your life so even if you do not address, that is absolutely fine..it doesn't define you.
Are u live in an apartment or ur home.I also want to live alone. Anyway appreciate ur effort sis 🥰🤩❤️😀
I also stay alone. I did my 12th, graduation, MBA by my own... To give tusion to the students and after 12th I started working.
My relation with my parents is not good. My boyfriend and his family always appreciate me for my works. First I stayed in a Pg then from my 23 age I live in a complex. I rented a 1rk flat to now I have my own flat. I am now 28.
Really ekele rehna Bohot kuch sikhate hai... And I am so happy with it ❤️...
I second you.
From where did you have done your mba
More power to you girl. Lots of love. I too started to live alone by myself at around 23. Its a great experience.
I am 29 and working in an MNC. I live by my own and could relate so much to this video. Living by my own doesn't mean that I want to bring over my friends at my place for partying, but our society which is made up of us only could not accept the fact that it is also a normal phase. Some of us may like to live alone and that doesn't mean that he or she is selfish.
Exactly
I used to think on similar lines before marriage, but after marriage and having a baby, I miss my parents the most. Now, I am ready to do anything, absolutely anything to have my parents live with me/near me. Also, I am worried for them as well. Once they grow older, how will they manage alone, since I am the only child. I think, enjoy your parents company while you can. Some day you might regret not giving enough time to them
I am not married yet but I still understand your emotions towards your parents...I hope you can live with your parents soon as possible
@Bumblebee Getmemysupersuit best solution... I totally agree bcos i understand it completely as im also the only child of my parents.
@Bumblebee Getmemysupersuit no im Tanuja S.
Her thinking is very American or European you can say... and people are supporting her in comment section that is scary....
@@swatidas3467 Not judging anyone but through social media, people only show their surface. Life occus at depth. Cheers.
Your voice is so soothing and relaxing. It somehow gives an assurance that everything is alright / will be alright.
Really enjoyed watching your video. More power to you! ❤️
Dear I also live alone. I feel it's very important as it makes you independent and strong individual
She is a genuine soul ...her voice is so brave ...she dnt need to show by actions ....
Ankita, this is such a refreshing topic. Thank you for being so candid. Independence is so important and essential to discuss. Keep up the great work.
I came to Mumbai alone for work & living alone here for 2yrs and it's the best thing I have bcz living alone taught me so much and gettin thru from my bad times..now I love to being alone.. feeling Independent more🖤
I discovered your blog in 2014. Was doing my graduation back then. It's been 6 years. Got my first job after completing masters. Feels like I've grown with you. 💗
I literally cried after watching this... I m living alone since 4 years... And there's nobody to take care of me... It makes me feel bad.. But its ok... I came to that there are many people who are living alone.. Earlier I use to panic.. But now I m OK.... Thanks sis... Love u.. Stay blessed 😚 ❤️😘
What if you get sick? 🤔🤔🤔
Then you should live with your family..
You really opened up my eyes!
Ankita, trust me I really want to be like you, you do have the energy to change the environment around you.
You have such soothing and calming voice that make every vibration from your side a positive one.
God bless.
I totally agree with you. Its very very important for a person to live independently as it make life much clearer. You see and understand things better, the teachings one grows up with. It certainly does add to maturity as the decision one makes is completely yours, no blame games.
Your 13 minute long video left me speechless. You spoke for me and for many more like us, who have always roused curiosity as well as suspicion of the society around them on the topic of choosing to live independently, and not in their parents’ house. Today, for the first time I felt like I am not alone. It was like me speaking in front of the camera (only I would not look so good and confident 😐). This was the best video you ever made! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Loved it..many woman coming out and living independently. It was so lovely... an experience that u shared.
Highly relatable. I've been living by myself for the last one year. It was my dream to live alone. I am living my dream now.
I am a single child and I totally relate to the part where parents get a chance to focus on themselves. I have been out of my home for close to 5 years now and I see my parents doing activities, going on trips which previously they didn't think about. 😊
I know! Mine too! Once both my brother and I moved out, I see them rediscovering old hobbies and being more social too, finding like minded people their own age to spend time with. My dad is a really good singer and a sports buff and my mom likes to paint and garden. And seeing them do these things makes me happy!
I am Muslim and married a hindu guy and after 16 yrs marriage and 5 sons he left me. Now I’m on my own because my parents disowned me for marrying a Hindu and loving to provide for my sons. They are under 12 yrs age all them. It’s really hard to live this life alone. My parents tried to stop me from marrying the hindu man as he’s not faithful
I highly appreciate the way u balanced everything.
It takes a lot of strength to be open about everything happening in life sply in the kind of conservative society we live
Hats off to you
Really liked it.
Next topic - how does it feel like to travel (spclly abroad)alone being a woman?
Hi Ankita, please make a video on traveling alone...
And also ordering food or going outside alone for drinks and shopping
Yes's hiii ankita even i want to know how it feels to travel alone
@@yashikasingh8591 believe me...its just awesome🥰
Yes needy & vry important... travelling alone to unknown places especially overseas.
I really appreciate the fact that you presented both the pros and cons of living alone. A lot of times, people brashly try to push an idea as great without adequately acknowledging its downsides. But kudos to you for presenting both the pluses and minuses of living alone. More power to you, Ankita :-)
Proud to see u always hv a smile in ur face..after got divorce,I didn't see any stress and disappointment in ur face..what a confident person Ure..alluring face u have..this video gives me a kind of smile,confidence,happiness..I hv no words..all d best dear..
You can be in the best version of yourself when you are alone .....you just need to balance out your emotions and make yourself aware that there is nothing like loneliness as long as you are there with yourself. Kudos to you girl. May God bless you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It really motivated me personally coz I was thinking of staying alone but whenever I think about its demerits I just back off but yaaa thank u for sharing this it really helped a lot looking forward to see more videos on such topics💞💞
Parents can’t look after kids all their life
Kids have to grow up after 18 yrs and look after themselves and start living seperate which teaches a person so much . It happened to me when I was 17 I moved out and learned life was so different and difficult initially but later I learned so much in life . totally agree with whatever she said in the video.
Hi there! I just came across your channel while searching for reviews on the Laniege sleeping mask and I’ve been binge watching your videos, there’s such a calm and relaxing vibe in your videos, it’s not loud and no unnecessary blabbering. Keep doing what you’re doing 👍
U r one of my inspirational woman. U r such a strong woman who i look upto. And now that i see your journey it's such a moral boost the way u have handled ur personal life and professional lyfl. U were such a beautiful person inside out and ur calmness. And the strength and aura u emit. God bless. Hope you achieve greater heights and be happier in lyf ❤️😘
I was never sure about living alone. Yes living alone teaches you so many things like being independent emotionally and financially as you have mention here. My relation with my family is not so good you know they never appreciated me for anything and always criticized me. And my childhood was also not a very pleasant one either because of my past relationship with my family, friends and ex I went through depression and anxiety. Now i am having severe anxiety disorder and because of this condition now my family is critizing me more. I was never sure that I can live alone as a female in this country and moreover if i ever fell ill who will gonna take care of me etc. But to be honest if you really needed or wanted to be living alone then do it. As I said earlier my relationship with my family is not good and because of that my mental health is worsening more.
Your words are heart touching. Different people, different situations, different aspects of living in this one world ; only the victim knows how to deal what is coming in his/ her way.
Gratitude for everything that our parents did for us on a day to day basis ,came in for me as soon as I left my parents house, got married and started living with my husband .
Alot of things I took for granted with them ,I had to deal with on my own in this new phase of life.
Living alone makes us so much stronger that we are able to take tough decision single handedly without any fear.
It's so great of u to share that ur marriage had ended. I went through the same n I know how girls in India feel bad about it. It would be great if u speak about it n the ways to handle all that. Though I m married to the person I love I would love to speak about my tough days which is responsible for who I am right now.
N now we are living alone. I could relate to each n every aspect. I like these kinda videos than ur tutorials n reviews 🥰
There are a lot of things that living alone teaches you.. most importantly you get to design your life the way YOU want! it teaches you life lessons which are hard to learn otherwise... it sorts your life in so many ways
Dear ankita I got to know that you are an engineer still made an unconventional career. Hats off !! Really inspired by your thoughts. You are so honest and right. Loved your home and your thoughts are so relatable. But not everyone is lucky to be able to live by themselves.
If this isnt the most true thing i have seen! Here, still today people think moving out of parent's house after we are adult and we r earning is wrong, but moving out after we get married isnt an issue. People need to understand that moving out of parent's house does not mean us not being affectionate enough to them. More power to you!❤❤❤
Exactly! I had wanted to mention this in my video but forgot! As an individual, we can make our independent choices and by no means does it mean that we love our parents any less!
I really never thought you'd really talk these many talks on this topic with whatever experiences you had,n we were never known about the past,and we often think that you might be enjoying earning so much n hope you live ur life to the fullest with all the happiness,n tdy my openions have changed completely ! N I really didn't had a +ve thoughts on looking this thumbnail and the title , but I feel so guilt of myself now ! Yet my openions ve changed completely,but still u need a person at times ,n this had benifited me a lot ,thanks so much , n ur not just a beauty blogger ,you changed my views completey ❤️ lotza Love
Kudos to you girl👍
I've lived alone for some years...was a life changing experience. In India the biggest issue is safety for a woman living alone.
You are so clear with your thoughts! I could relate with you completely. I am 31yrs old & my marriage isn't working so living by myself alone in my recently brought home in Mumbai. You rightly said about soothing ourselves emotionally, learning life skills, being self reliant and becoming stronger.
Thankyou for sharing your experience. I am feeling much relieved thinking there are many like me who live alone without guilt & stay confident inspite of the blubbering mouths around.
More power to you.Love your aura.
This topic is very close to my heart... listening to you talk about it, I just felt really really good.. You did covered all the good and not so good things about it... 😊
I really appreciate the positive attitude towards life . U r a great influencer. Your story has inspired me a lot. 😘
So beautiful so gentle and so strong. Sharing your story in public is strong and commendable. I've been single and independent all my life with my family support. I used to wonder if something was wrong with me for choosing to be the way I am. Your video reieterated my belief's and kind of reassured me that you are still complete if you choose to go alone.
I had never heard such a soothing voice. You are crisp and very apt in the things you want to convey. You are awesome.
Hey Ankita, love the topic as I totally and completely understand that staying alone is a bliss. I don't know why it's still a taboo in our country bcoz I feel we really don't need any reason to live alone. It should come simply out of choice not due to circumstances and living alone means Loving ourselves, getting more independent and getting way stronger... Who wouldn't appreciate that... Love your Videos... Keep Posting, keep spreading love... 😘😍💕💕
I think you forgot to mention one of the biggest demerits of moving out of your parent's house, specially if only one of your parents is still around... That is most of the times you can't be there for them when they need you the most... In emergencies, people usually try to rush back to their parents but that is if something very unfortunate happens... Otherwise most of the times, aging parents have to fend for themselves.... Though that doesn't or shouldn't stop people from moving out of their parent's homes but what I think is that they should be mindful that physical distance doesn't distant them from their parents emotionally and they doesn't end up using it as an excuse to avoid responsibilities....
You raise a very valid point. In all honesty, that did not cross my mind as I haven't faced that situation myself, thanks for pointing it out 🙏
Debarati Das excellent point 👍🏻
You are right ...valid point
Debarati Das many Indian women r married and move away what then?
Thanks for posting this video because I have never lived alone and it was great to hear this perspective. Friends of mine who do live alone too have had similar experiences.
I still live with mom and grandmom and this point of caring for a parent when they are older is very much what our situation is like. Mom is an only child, as am I, and my grandmother moved in with us when my grandfather passed away. After that when I was 19 my parents separated and I live with my mom. So this whole thing can get a fair bit more complicated when one is an only child. Of course that's a relatively rarer situation and I guess not really in line with this video's topic 🙈
You are an inspiration for so many women who believe in themselves ,who do not get affected by this cruel world and keep going positively
Every people has a hero in themselves and you found yours! I have been watching your videoa since my teenage. You fought really well with odds. It's really commendable how you fought with yourself when society was trying to imply things on you. Keep it up 👍
Advantages-- space, mental peace, freedom.
Disadvantage : if helping maid is not available then life is tough . Have to buy groceries, sabji ,cooking gas refilling and all other household chores by my self . ( even mortem se chuha mar gaya to ushey bhi feko)
One personal opinion -- staying with landlady is better than staying all alone in an apartment. It is much more safer. Plus you get a companion specially in a time like lockdown.
And always remember, freedom comes with responsibility.
Cleaning, cooking and buying groceries are all living essentials. At a point I was a working woman living in a 1bhk doing all this. I don't think it's a big deal. And it does not hinder freedom in way to say with freedom comes responsibility. Is being responsible to run your own home and work so huge? Then again, it's a personal and financial choice.
How did u came out of heart break situation... M facing the same... M Not able cope up with it
It's great to hear a woman discuss the different aspects of living alone, esp in the Indian context. Kudos! And thank you!
You are a deep thinker and wise also because you are explaining every single point which is in everyone's mind
Reallyyyyy impressed by her
Stay blessed ever
I've been following you from long time, when you moved to japan with your ex husband... I didn't know about the divorce, any way good to see such video on some Indian platform. More power to you gal!
I have started living alone from my age of 23 when i started my research. I just really enjoyed that life. Now from last year i my boyfriend started living with me
its so good to know.. there are such incredible inspiring women around... i am going through a similar phase of divorce in my life which gets depressing sometimes.. but its good to see women who have done dusted this process and emerged even stronger. You had some charm and i thought of you as very calm and composed and now i have one more reason to love you..!! thanks for sharing
wonderful that you shared on this unusual topic. I believe living alone, is actually living with ones own self. So, technically, not alone, but with your own self, which as you rightly point out, gets totally overlooked in a traditional family setting.
Kudos to you Ankita. I have always been a great admirer of your personality and this has increased after having heard you in this video. I have lived alone for many years and I believe that those phases made me stronger . I now live with my husband and son and I am able to appreciate the pros and cons of both the scenarios. I have been financially independent and hence could afford to look after myself for almost 7years but I did face issues finding a house on rent and nosy neighbors. I bought a flat in Mumbai just to put many of the questions to rest. Hence can relate to your journey and I pray to God that he gives you all the happiness and success in life. More power to strong, independent, working single women like you. You are the flagbearers of change !!!
I am staying in Pune, my parents live here too. But I still stay separate. It actually feels good to be independent 😊
How did you convince your parents of the same?
Naomi Ganjoo I told them that I wanted to be independent and I wanted to learn things on my own.
Hey even i want to live alone in Pube
It's nice to see you talking about parents on having their own life too. Something which I haven't heard from most youtubers when asked why do you live alone..
You are totally right that for women in India is very hard to live alone, actually it is necessary for them to live alone with their freedom because many many women in India just pus down their desires due to family pressure and what not.... I also would love to live alone like you and do whatever I want.
I love being alone... Tgere is more happiness than living with others
Edited : thought I'm the only one who loves being Alone.... Bt here I met my type people... ❤❤❤❤❤
But what to do when u want to live alone but ur parents need u becoz they are either old aged or they are not fit (medically)
I feel you. I'm in the same ship.
That's of course a tough situation and you must whatever you can in that situation to care for your parents.
@@corallista 🥰🥰🥰 such a pure soul you are..
@@corallista I Like that answer 👍
People can be jerks and have too much time in their hands. You do you girl! Do what makes you happy and content.
Your video is so inspiring and the best thing about you is your smile after experiencing a lot of incidents. Thank You for motivating others. This type of video can inspire people a lot to change their way of thinking and commenting without knowing the truth. Thank you once again.
Hey Ankita!! I was also eager to know that and I am Glad I watched this video! I totally admire you and your aspects!
I have the same kind of experience ... I had to stay apart from my family and also my husband as I was working in mumbai while my husband was doing his MBA from Kolkata ... Just to manage the household plus the office .. bringing your own groceries ...managing rent and other imp expenses ...then trying to have a disciplined or healthy lifestyle without getting emotionally drained was a huge task for me ... Coming home to an empty house really sucks but then again it teaches u to love ur own company ..u figure out ways to be content with your environment or situation and really be self reliant ... Yeah I think every girl should go through this experience just to grow up in life
This video gives a lot confidence and motivation for all women who think, that life without any relations turns out to be a disaster..a must topic to discuss..and why not ask your mum or dad to stay with you quite often.. now this video has raised your standard in my vision...
There might be social media influencers out there, who don't really enlighten minds, but this video was such an enlightening one... Always admired you, but this channelized it a lot more deeper..
Very soothing, very real, you deserve the recognition.. Thank you for being so real.. it makes everything relatable..
I m 29..I live alone too and I don't know who are these random people asking you such senseless questions
Dont u scared in nights .
Family supports in need. Being alone is terrible sometimes.
@@mrperfectionist6859 Yes I also felt that
I got divorced with 4 kids and I am living independantly.
4!!!!!why????
My husband was a narcassist and he .was.very controlling. He divorced me when I took my debit card from him.
Hope you slapped a good alimony on him
Hi Asha, I'm glad you're out of that unpleasant situation now. Give my love to your kids! 💕
@@corallista Thank you love.
