Pouring her emotions out in an interview to Hindustan Times, she has revealed how difficult it was to realize that she was suffering from depression.  She said, “In early 2014, while I was being appreciated for my work, one morning, I woke up feeling different. A day earlier, I had fainted due to exhaustion; it was all downhill from there. I felt a strange emptiness in my stomach.”

She also tried to be brave in front of her parents but ultimately one day she broke down in front of her mother. It was then when her mother told her to consult a psychologist friend.
