Mouni Roy on why women are limitless goddesses: ‘Be financially and emotionally independent'
Mouni Roy says women are limitless. and we couldn't agree more. The Naagin actor recently spoke about the limitless potential of women, while adding that emotional and financial independence are extremely important. 'I'm very independent. I'm emotionally independent. I am financially independent. I have taken care of myself and my family for many, many years. Be financially and emotionally independent. It's very important and you can work at it. You know, you can put in the work. You can put in hours of meditation and chant. You should be willing to. There is no short cut to hard work. So, never stop working hard,' Roy told Sahiba Bali on Zero1 by Zerodha.
Stressing that women are 'really, truly limitless,' she continued: 'We have so much magic in us in terms of the way we can feel, the way we can think, the way we can take care of other people. We operate with so much softness yet are so strong. These are qualities unanimously attached to all women. I really feel like we are limitless goddesses.'
Taking a cue, let's explore how financial and emotional freedom make a difference in women's lives.
Psychotherapist, healer, and relationship life coach, Delnna Rrajesh says she 'has witnessed many women trapped' — not just in toxic relationships, but in cycles of emotional and financial dependence that stripped them of power, identity, and choice. 'Here's the hard truth: You cannot be truly free if you are financially or emotionally dependent on someone else,' said Delnna.
According to her, money is more than numbers in a bank account. 'It's the ability to say, 'I will not tolerate this.' It's the power to move, to choose, to rebuild. And emotional independence? That is the unshakable core that refuses to be manipulated, gaslit, or broken,' shared Delnna.
Financial and emotional resilience is not a luxury; it is survival. 'The most formidable woman in the world is not the one who is fearless. It is the one who knows she can survive anything,' expressed Delnna.
Therefore, build your financial power. 'Strengthen your emotional core. Because the moment you reclaim both, no one—not society, not a partner, not fear—can ever hold you captive again,' shared Delnna.
