Actor and reality TV personality Seema Sajdeh has said she would rather come home to her dogs than to a man. Speaking in a recent interview, she said she is not afraid of being alone and actually enjoys her own company. "I don't get scared... many people are very scared to be alone in life eventually, but I actually like my own company," Sajdeh said. Her remarks come as she continues to feature in the Netflix series Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, where her personal life has been a subject of discussion. Sajdeh, who was previously married to film producer Sohail Khan, has spoken before about being single and content with her lifestyle. She has not given any timeline for changing her current living arrangement.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Seema Sajdeh’s comment reflects a broader cultural shift among urban Indian women who increasingly prioritise financial independence and personal space over traditional relationship milestones. The actor, best known for her role in the reality series Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, joins a growing list of public figures openly discussing singlehood as a choice rather than a compromise. According to the 2021 India Family Health Survey, the proportion of never-married women aged 30-34 has risen to 8.4% from 4.8% a decade earlier, though this remains lower than in Western countries. Social media reactions to such statements often polarise, with some celebrating autonomy and others questioning the rejection of companionate marriage. Watch for whether brands or television producers use this sentiment in upcoming lifestyle or travel programming targeting affluent single women.
