“I didn’t intend to eavesdrop, the walls of this glass house are thin. I wore my heart on my sleeve, now my T-shirt is stained with blood. I needed time to heal; my fears gave me deep wounds.
Insomnia and anxiety forced me to make strange confessions. I was screaming for help; I couldn’t suppress my emotions. It took a toll on my health, my soul was tired from the pressure. While I was fighting my depression, you were fighting with your girlfriend. Wait…”
The post has drawn widespread support from fans and industry peers. Actors Vijay Varma, Gulshan Devaiah, and Aparshakti Khurana commented to express their encouragement and solidarity.
