After a very public break-up with cricketer Yuvraj Singh, Kim Sharma has again found her bearings. “Oh, I am loving it,” she squeals. And all that happiness is not a put on act.

As Kim herself reveals, she has never been single for so long. “Being single is liberating. And I am enjoying this feeling for the first time as I have never been single for so long. In the past, if I was not in a relationship, I was either casually dating someone or going out for those casual dinners. But this time, I am really single,” she says.

And what is that one thing that she has learnt from being single? “The meaning of having my own space. I used to feel that it was an overhyped concept. It is only now that I understand the freedom and sense of self worth that it brings in its wake. In fact, now I wonder why I didn’t discover this concept before! I am my own person, I do what I like to do and don’t have to please anyone. I have so much more zest for life and my attitude towards work and people around me has changed.”

And then all that bubbly spirit leads to some introspection. “I have realised that I can enjoy my own company and I don’t need someone around. I am discovering myself right now. I have so many people around me except for that one man who might drive me up the wall. And this is a good thing. Also, I have come to realise that you don’t need people to fill voids because voids are self-created. You need people to complement you.”

And for how long does she plan to be single? “I don’t want to be a spinster for the rest of my life,” she laughs, adding, “I am the kind of person who centres my whole world around that one person. And because of that I lose out on everything else. So right now, it is just me and my girlie gang and a lot of pyjama parties and midnight swims.”
