She said, “We were already not getting along. We used to fight even before we got married, and things had reached a point where we should have decided not to go ahead with it-that he was not the one for me, or I was not the one for him. But you know how first love is. You feel, ‘This is it. This is the person.’ My parents also told me that this relationship was not right and that we were not right for each other. But I just didn’t want to listen.”
Kamya said she kept trying to make the marriage work because she wanted to be certain that she had done everything she could to save the relationship before finally choosing to walk away. She added, “People tell me, ‘You wasted 13 years.’ But I tried my best. I gave everything to the relationship so that I would never regret later that I didn’t try.”
She also opened up about the domestic violence she endured during the marriage. She recalled using makeup to hide the marks on her face before appearing in public, keeping the abuse away from the spotlight. Kamya further said, “I have been through domestic violence. There was a time when I would put makeup on my face before going out so that the marks wouldn’t show. I remember going to receive an award once and feeling ashamed of myself. I thought, ‘Who am I, and what am I doing?’ I was getting beaten up at home and then going outside to receive an award. Why? What kind of life was I living? Who was I trying to prove anything to?”
Kamya recalled that there were times when she would shut herself away and cry for hours, sometimes spending the entire night in the bathroom. She also spoke about reporting for rehearsals of a comedy show wearing heavy makeup to conceal the marks on her face. According to her, those around her were unaware of what she was going through. She said she would often break down in her vanity van while continuing to put on a brave face and perform as though everything was normal.
