They were married for around seven years but called time on their relationship when the This Morning doctor, 46, came out as gay, in 2011.‌After he spoke out about their painful split, the nervous-system-led coach shared her side on Instagram earlier this week, detailing how she “mourned” the end of her marriage and battled feelings of “not being good enough”.‌In the wake of her candid post, many rushed to support her in the comments below and shared their own stories. In a new video, Sulvinder has addressed the huge reaction she received, thanking those for getting in touch.‌She began: “Honestly, the past 24 hours has been surreal in ways unimaginable. I just want to say thank you for sharing your stories with me, I’m going through them all and I’m replying as quickly as I can, it just might take me a little bit of time.“Thursday was me pushing myself out of my comfort zone, facing my fears, being brave, and if that inspires you in any way then know that I’m here cheering you on.”Alongside the upload, she added: “Honestly, I’m a bit lost for words. But I’ll try. I asked you to share your story with me and so many of you have. Thank you, I know how much courage that takes.‌“I have been reading them all, and replying as fast as I can so please bear with me if I haven’t got back to you yet. But know that I see you. Sharing my story yesterday was me pushing myself way out of my comfort zone and facing my fears, so if that inspires you in any way then know that I’m here cheering you on.“Have a great rest of the weekend. You all made my birthday yesterday the best one yet so thank you - I’m very grateful.”Sulvinder spoke publicly for the first time about her break-up from Dr Ranj earlier, to mark what would have been their 20th anniversary.‌In a lengthy Instagram message, she said that she grew up being told that she has to "set a good example, get a good education, a good job, and an Indian husband".“It was a strict upbringing and the responsibility felt heavy. I saw university as an escape route. After some rebellion, I graduated, got a job as a Pharmacist, met my future husband and started married life," she recalled. “Married life was not easy and then the cracks started to show.‌"What I will say is there is not a lonelier feeling than feeling alone in a marriage. When it ended, both parties were hurting, and a divorce was the only option. I mourned. It was heavy because the future I thought I had was gone and the person that I thought I had married was gone as well.“I questioned everything. I felt extremely unattractive. I was ashamed. I believed I was not good enough. I no longer felt at home in London and yet I had spent my whole life trying to escape my roots. So I went back home as home felt safe."“Then I turned 45. I thought ’Is this it?’,” she continued. “‘Is this what my life is going to be?’ I had no balance. It was all work. I was miserable. It was eating away at me. I desperately wanted change but I didn’t know how. So at first it started with the outside. How I looked. Once I started to change, my external world did too. Work was the same and no longer the right fit so I quit. Just like that.‌“I created a business. Set my work hours around my life instead of the other way round. I could be more present. Working on my feelings and dissolving old beliefs is really where the big shifts have happened. I now know that I am more than enough. We all are.”Her comments came after Dr Ranj discussed the end of their marriage in a candid interview with the Big Issue. He revealed that he came out as gay to a close friend around the age of 30, before informing his wife and family.He has since started dating actor James Coldenbrook, with the pair making their romance Instagram official last year.‌"I was married and obviously that relationship broke down and then it was dealing with everybody else, friends and family. It happened when I'd got to where I was thought I was supposed to be," he told the outlet. "I had the career I'd always wanted, I always wanted a home of my own. I'd ticked all my boxes."So the big question was, why am I still not 100 per cent happy? Why does it still feel like something's not right? And that's when therapy brought all of that stuff out..."This perfect life that you've imagined and hoped for and dreamt of and worked towards isn't your perfect life."Article continues belowLike this story?
