Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs Rowan Atkinson’s daughter Lily Sastry has spoken out for the first time about her parents’ divorce, revealing their break-up plunged her into ‘darkness’ and ‘chaos’.Mr Bean star Rowan, 70, separated from Lily’s mother, former BBC make-up artist Sunetra Sastry, in 2015 after 24 years of marriage. Sunetra, 67, was granted a ‘quickie’ divorce on the grounds of his ‘unreasonable behaviour’, and he has been in a relationship with actress Louise Ford, 44, since.Addressing her parents’ split, Lily, 30, said she went through a lot of ‘loneliness’ during her twenties as she discussed the struggles of navigating a ‘broken family’.’I went through so much chaos and loneliness in my twenties. Now I am 30, I can see clearly where I was at and what was happening inside me during the darkest days,’ Lily said in a new online post. ‘I was so lost, and only really started to feel vaguely normal in my late twenties. I have always been trapped between worlds; do not belong here, but also don’t belong there.’ Rowan Atkinson’s daughter Lily Sastry (pictured) has spoken out for the first time about her parents’ divorce, revealing their break-up plunged her into ‘darkness’ and ‘chaos’  Mr Bean star Rowan, 70, separated from Lily’s mother, former BBC make-up artist Sunetra Sastry (both pictured in October 2011), in 2015 after 24 years of marriage Rowan Atkinson is seen here at an after-party for a screening of the film Johnny English Strikes Again in London in October 2018In her early twenties, Lily tried her hand at burlesque dancing and then moved onto singing, which her father reportedly backed financially.She changed her surname from Atkinson to her mother’s, Sastry, in 2017, leading to whispers of a possible rift between Lily and the Blackadder star.Lily, who lives in London, is now a professional artist, and had her debut exhibition at a small independent gallery in the capital last December.In her new online post, she wrote: ‘It’s hard to find out who you are in the midst of no friends, a broken family, and no idea how to navigate making music and trying to understand the world. ‘It has taken me years to figure out my life and who I am, as well as become the best person I can be. I have made countless mistakes, and been hurt, lost, and alone many a time.’She added: ‘Art was my guiding light. The thing that made all the suffering worth it; as I was working towards a goal, a dream.’Rowan and Sunetra also have a son, Ben Atkinson, 31, who is an officer in the Royal Gurkha Regiment.Rowan and his current partner Louise first met in 2013 after appearing together in the West End as he starred in the comic play Quartermaine’s Terms. Addressing her parents’ split, Lily, 30, said she went through a lot of ‘loneliness’ during her twenties as she discussed the struggles of navigating a ‘broken family’ (all pictured in 2011) Sunetra, 67, was granted a ‘quickie’ divorce on the grounds of Rowan’s ‘unreasonable behaviour’, and he has been in a relationship with Louise Ford (pictured in April 2015), 44, since The actor Rowan Atkinson is pictured here with daughter Lily in London in June 2016 Lily Sastry, seen here in a photo shared on her Instagram account, has now written about going through a lot of ‘loneliness’ during her twenties Lily has written on Substack: ‘I went through so much chaos and loneliness in my twenties’ She went on to say: ‘Now I am 30, I can see clearly where I was at and what was happening inside me during the darkest days’ Lily added: ‘I was so lost, and only really started to feel vaguely normal in my late twenties. I have always been trapped between worlds; do not belong here, but also don’t belong there’ Rowan Atkinson’s daughter previously launched a career as a burlesque dancer She has shared photographs of herself on Instagram Lily, who lives in London, is now a professional artist, and had her debut exhibition at a small independent gallery in the capital last December She has written: ‘Art was my guiding light. The thing that made all the suffering worth it; as I was working towards a goal, a dream’The couple have kept their relationship relatively low-key and under wraps ever since and are rarely spotted out together. Louise was previously in a relationship with stand-up comedian James Acaster.Rowan and Sunetra were building an £11million home in Oxfordshire at the time of their split in 2014.Following the break-up, Blackadder star Atkinson moved into a £4million cottage in Hampstead, north London, while Sunetra resided in a £21million mansion in the capital, bought for her by Rowan in 2014.After it was revealed in October 2017 that Lily had changed her social media profile surname, a spokesman for her said: ‘There is no truth in the idea that Rowan and Lily have fallen out.’A source had told the Daily Mail at the time: ‘It’s a real mystery. Atkinson has been Lily’s name all her life, but she’s now dropped it and is styling herself as Lily Sastry.”I hope she hasn’t fallen out with her dad. The divorce was really hard for everyone in the family.’’Lily also set tongues wagging when she decided to eradicate all traces of her father from her public profile.But the father and daughter were seen together the following October as they celebrated the premiere of his film Johnny English Strikes Again at an after-party held at Morton’s in Mayfair, central London.Sunetra worked for the BBC as a make-up artist, while Atkinson has starred in TV series including Blackadder, Mr Bean, Not The Nine O’Clock News and The Thin Blue Line.Atkinson, who attracted almost 19million viewers in his role as Mr Bean at its peak, has amassed a fortune of an estimated £70million.
