Kamya Punjabi Discusses Childhood Illness, Financial Struggles, and Abusive First MarriagePreviousNext

Actress Kamya Punjabi has shared her experiences of hardship, including severe childhood illnesses requiring surgery and financial struggles that led her mother to sell her mangalsutra. She also revealed enduring domestic violence during her first marriage to businessman Bunty Negi, describing how she hid bruises with makeup and faced restrictions on her work. The turning point came when her daughter witnessed a fight, prompting Kamya to leave the marriage after nearly 13 years. She later remarried in 2020 and continues her career.
