Revealing that she was depressed after his death, she said, “I didn't miss it at all. I got married and had my first child immediately. My husband, who acted as a villain, became a hero. It was a dream world. I lost him 12 years ago, and then went into depression. I’ve been okay for the last five years, all because of my two kids.”Now that she is making a comeback after decades, Shanti says that she would like to have a different screen name to honour her husband than the one she’s most famous for. “The value of the name is still there, but I am a little hesitant about still using it, as I’ve two kids who are of marriageable age.
