Sumona Chakravarti Shares Endometriosis Surgery Update

Published 5 July 2026

Actor Sumona Chakravarti has revealed she recently underwent surgery for endometriosis, sharing a candid account of her health journey and a renewed perspective on life and social media. The 38-year-old actress returned to Instagram on Sunday after a two-month break to disclose the personal update.

Chakravarti explained that she had the excision surgery after the condition, which she has lived with for years, progressed significantly. She said she is now recovering well and feels very well after weeks of physical and mental healing. She expressed gratitude to her doctor and medical team for their care.

In a lengthy post, the actress clarified that her disclosure was not for sympathy or promotion but stemmed from a profound shift in her outlook. She admitted she had considered deleting social media apps entirely but realized a permanent departure was impractical due to work and personal connections. Instead, she stated a desire to change how she uses these platforms, aiming to foster a community focused on meaningful conversations about health, wellness, lifestyle choices, and other substantive topics rather than chasing likes or follower counts.
