Kunickaa Sadanand on her alcohol addiction

During a casual conversation with Mridul, Gaurav and Pranit, Mridul asked Kunickaa about one bad habit of hers. She replied, “Main drugs bilkul nahi karti, but ek time tha jab main bahot peeti thi, emotionally main bahot down thi, breakup ke baad. Main itna phool gayi thi baap re baap, aur dubbing karte waqt maine apne aap ko dekha baap re baap, ye main kya lag rahi hoon (I never did drugs, but there was a time when I drank a lot. I was emotionally very low after my breakup. I had gained so much weight—oh my God! When I saw myself during dubbing, I thought, what have I become!). I was too much into alcohol. I used to go to nightclubs and drink. My father always told me, ‘Never drink alcohol with someone else’s money."

Kunickaa also recalled being on dinner dates where her companion ordered an expensive bottle of champagne worth ₹20,000. A few days later, the same person mentioned how costly the drink was, making her realise that she had consumed it too. The experience left her uncomfortable, and when the person invited her out again, she politely declined. However, she chose not to disclose the identity of the individual involved.

Gaurav then asked Kunickaa how many relationships she had been in, to which she revealed, “I have had two live-in relationships and four romances. Aur do shaadiyaan bhi. Matlab 60 ke umar tak theek hai (laughs) (And two marriages as well. I think that’s fine until the age of 60!)." Listening to this, Mridul quipped, “I just need this confidence in life.”

When Gaurav asked if she had ever dated an actor, Kunickaa replied, “No, never. I never dated any actor. With actors, the problem is that they love themselves too much. Woh apne aap ko bahot zyada pyaar karte hain, woh kisi aur ko kar hi nahi sakte pyaar, especially all the top actors. All the time they will be looking at their faces, in mirrors. Main kaisa dikh raha hoon? (They love themselves so much that they can’t love anyone else, especially the top actors. They’re always looking at their faces in the mirror, asking, ‘How am I looking?’)"
