In a surprising turn of events, Jay Shetty read a heartfelt letter from Pinkett Smith's estranged husband, Will Smith.

In the letter, Will expressed admiration and respect for Pinkett Smith, mentioning that had he read her book 30 years ago, he would have shown her more affection and care. He also extended warm words, welcoming her to the Authors Club and expressing endless love for her. Pinkett Smith, touched by the message, jokingly remarked about not being able to have Merlot and playfully acknowledged her ongoing connection with Will.

The podcast episode focused on ways to heal from one's past and rediscover self-love, as per the teaser shared by Shetty on Instagram. The discussion also touched on Oscar night and various aspects of Pinkett Smith's life.

Following the recent revelation of their separation in 2016, details of Pinkett Smith and Will's nearly 30-year relationship have been gradually coming to light. In addition to their relationship, Pinkett Smith discussed the impact of other significant relationships in her life, including her relationship with her late father, Robsol Pinkett, Jr. She recalled a poignant moment from her childhood when her father expressed his inability to be a father figure to her, leading to a profound impact on her emotional well-being at the time.
