Mumbai: Television actress Surbhi Chandna recently shared a photo of herself shedding a tear, leaving her fans worried.
Along with the photo, the actress wrote an emotional note on her Instagram handle in which she shared about the hardships of married life.
Surbhi shared that the picture was taken two months after her marriage to longtime beau Karan Sharma.
“Yes, Instagram is mostly about all the good times and very rarely about the lows, and hardly will you see celebrities speak about difficult times, portraying it as if it’s been a cakewalk, which is absolutely false. It’s such a strange happy feeling that in a month, we will be a year into our marriage,” she wrote.
The actress, who will be celebrating her first marriage anniversary in March, continued, “It’s never easy when you are trying to build a life together as husband and wife. You are only ever adjusting, compromising, and it’s so much easier being girlfriend and boyfriend (you are writing your own manual).”
Surbhi further shared that she would often break down as she missed her parents after her marriage and revealed, “And then the responsibilities that came along — no one ever told you or prepared you for them. You’re just about coping with one role, and then something else erupts, and the loop keeps looping.”
“We began working on our music label/production as producers, alongside my acting career, with no help or guidance in the business. Working together as professionals came with our share of fights. Keeping egos away and finding that middle ground has been a learning experience. We loved, helped each other heal, just like in the above picture, uplifted each other’s spirits when things didn’t go as planned, and now we’re on the path to help each other follow our dreams and passion,” Surbhi said while talking about balancing work and her marriage.
Surbhi admitted that the first year of marriage is often the toughest.
“God knows how our parents made it look easy! Every day, we are finding that right tune. We make pacts and enjoy every moment life throws at us. We often don’t value what we have and look for happiness externally, when we know it’s inside and around us,” she concluded.

Worried fans took to the comment section to extend their support to the actress.
A user wrote, “Dil dukha hai magar tuta to nahi apki tarah. Me bhi mayoos hoon, umeed pe duniya qayam hai.”
Another posted, “More power to you both ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for being so brave.”
Another commented, “I was scared when I first saw the pic, but the caption…” Another fan wrote, “Don’t be sad.”
Surbhi and Karan dated for 14 years before exchanging the wedding vows in March 2024.
The couple has recently launched their music label.
Surbhi was last seen in a music video, Zikr Tera, with her Ishqbaaz co-star Kunal Jaisingh.
