We've compiled a list of celebs who treated divorce as a catapult for personal development and self-discovery:
Manju Warrier

Manju married actor Dileep and had a daughter, Meenakshi, during the height of her career. However, in 2014, the couple filed for divorce, and Manju made a comeback to the film industry with the award-winning film 'How Old Are You?'
Manju Warrier is living proof that divorce, no matter how devastating, does not mean you can't pursue your dreams or have a successful career. Her second inning made her an even bigger star than before! She achieved immense fame and recognition in Malayalam and Tamil cinema as a result of her decision to pursue substantial roles and compelling scripts.
Samantha

What seemed to be one of the most challenging periods of her life turned out to be the best for her career, as she struck project after another that just kept elevating her fame and prowess as an actress. From the awards and recognition for her role in the Family Man 2 web series to her viral song 'Oo Antava,' Samantha is unstoppable.
Even as she gets busier with new projects, the actress often takes a break from shoots and goes on dreamy vacations with her friends. Samantha is the definition of 'girl power,' and we have nothing but simply best wishes for the superstar.
Arvind Swamy

In 1994, he married Gayathri Ramamurthy, and they had two children. However, the couple has been living apart since 2003 and filed for divorce in 2010. He was also engaged in an unfortunate accident in 2005, which left him partially paralyzed and required years of treatment.
Arvind returned to the cinema at Mani Ratnam's request after a rough decade in the 2000s. He shed 15 pounds for the role in 'Kadal.' His portrayal of 'Siddharth Abhimanyu' in Thani Oruvan made him a household name. Since then, he's been acting and recently received praise for his role in 'Thalaivii,' co-starring Kangana Ranaut (directed by AL Vijay).
It's inspiring to see that despite the challenges that life threw at him at every turn, Arvind never lost faith in himself and continued to seek what made him happy. He remarried Aparna Mukerjee in 2012.
Vishnu Vishal

Vishnu Vishal was married to his college sweetheart, fashion designer Rajini Natraj. However, after four years of courtship and seven years of marriage, they divorced in 2018.
While the divorce had a tremendous impact on him, he also suffered a significant injury while filming that kept him in bed for two and a half months, causing him to miss out on several film opportunities with well-known directors and production companies. In the process, the actor gained 11 kg.
After six months of training and practising healthy lifestyle habits, the actor has recovered and is now looking fit and healthy. He no longer drinks and practises yoga. He has also severed ties with negative and judgmental people in his life, both offline and online. His support system consists of his family and a few close friends.
In 2021, Vishnu married his fiancée, badminton player Jwala Gutta. Vishnu has demonstrated that, despite a setback following his divorce, he was able to bounce back by reinventing himself and even finding a new partner.
