Mumbai, Feb 18 (TIWN) Actress Malvi Malhotra says being of a spiritual mindset has helped her tide over the dark memories of her recent past. Malvi had been hospitalised last October after a producer stabbed her thrice for rejecting his proposal.

"I tell myself it is a new beginning every day and that the only way to go about living is being strong. I am a spiritual person and that helps me keep that dark memory away from me. I am emerging stronger every day. I have also started talking to other girls and women and have started encouraging them to learn self-defence or call out anyone who is troubling them. Becoming strong is a slow but steady process," Malvi tells IANS.  It took Malvi four months to return in front of the camera, and right now she is focussed on work. Known for her role of Pooja in the TV series "Udaan", Malvi recently made digital debut with the OTT show "Geisha".
