New Delhi:
Former Great leader candidate Arti Singh, in a recent interview with Time of india, opened up to the fight against depression and revealed that she was “ashamed” to tell people about her depression because she feared they would judge it. Previously, Arti Singh talked about coping with depression on Bigg Boss 13 and revealed that people have moved away from her due to her condition. Now, speaking to the publication, Arti said, “I just hope people in India are more sensitive to patients with depression. Itna usko negative bowl diya jata hai who he or she begins to feel manhoos. Like every time I went anywhere, I kept quiet and thought ki main toh manhoosiyat phaila rahi hoon. Being a depressed patient is still a taboo in India. I was ashamed to tell people that I am depressed. I would always think ki log kya sochengey. “
“When I was depressed, I thought mujhse koi shaadi nahi karega if I don’t tell anyone what I’m going through, “she added.
The actress, who has also worked on a few television shows, said that the people around her did not know about her sanity until she “started appearing on her face”.
“I’m not a mental health expert, but there were times when I had everything in life professionally, but I was broken inside. People around me didn’t know until it started to appear on my face. I was blessed to have people I could talk to and share with them what was going on in my life and they stood by my side like a rock and didn’t judge me, “Arti told YOU and added,” A depressed patient really has to get out of the situation. Of course people will listen to us, but in the end we have to help each other. “
Arti Singh was among the six finalists of the Bigg Boss 13, which ended on February 15 with Sidharth Shukla as winner. She has appeared in a number of television shows such as Grihasti, Parichay, Devon Ke Dev … Mahadev, Sasural Simar Ka and Udaan.
