Natasha re-started her career by managing the Swedish brand in the embassy, where she found the love of her life, Bengt Johansson, a Swedish trade commissioner. While working together, they fell in love and decided to be each other's partners. Together, they worked in Bengaluru, and later in life, they shifted their base to Pune.
Natasha began to feel pain in her stomach after a year of walking out of her first marriage. While Natasha felt discomfort in her stomach, she felt pain in her shoulders. After two surgeries on her shoulder and three bouts of radiation treatment, the doctor was not able to solve her pain. She had almost given up eating with drastic weight loss. However, it was much later that a doctor was able to diagnose her condition. After an eight-hour surgery, Natasha's stomach was removed.
Well, Natasha became an inspiration to many with her journey!
