New Delhi: Pushtie Shakti who’s best remembered for playing the titular role of Mahi Talwar in TV show Mahi Way is also a tarot card reader and a life coach.
The actress has been practicing tarot card reading for 22 years and loves to help people make right choices for themselves.
“It actually made me realise that I have automatically worked on my own life through much that I have gone through. So I went to L.A. and studied with my mentor, in person and from home, over a year. I am honored to have worked with many people and helped them through some very deep rooted issues, plan their dream life and also truly start living it.”
Pushtie Shakti played the role of an over-sized girl Mahi who’s an aspiring journalist and despite being judged by society for her appearance refuses to conform to the so-called beauty standards.
The actress says she’s happy to have inspired many plus-size women to embrace their bodies. “There was a time when I had about 1500 pictures of women in swimming costumes in my inbox saying that me wearing one in the Goa episode was inspiring. Most of them wrote, ‘If you can wear it on national television, we can surely wear it in the bedroom!’ Ten years ago this was a big thing.”
The actress says she believes in touching the lives of people in real life too with the help of her skills. “I naturally gravitate towards helping people. Be it my performances, my life coaching or my tarot reading and healing, it all comes from me answering my calling, to be there for people. It’s a blessing to touch people’s lives, no matter what the medium.”
