Rejecting the idea of a second marriage

"No, I don't want to get married again. I feel like this journey of mine is complete," she explained. She made it clear that she is not looking for another partner, as she feels she has fulfilled that chapter of her life.
The decision to live independently
The actress also shared a unique aspect of her future plans: she intends to experience life on her own for the first time. She explained to her fellow contestant that throughout her life, she has either lived in her parents' home or at her husband's home. Now, she is looking forward to living in her own space.
