Arti highlighted her journey in the entertainment industry as well as her struggles with depression. She said, “There were a lot of reasons for anxiety and depression. Then I didn't get work for a long time. I had a lot of mental struggles. I didn't have that much financially. Because my brother was working and he supported me always. I had a lot of mental struggles. A lot. I went into depression.”

Adding about how she started meds and then gradually went off it, she said, “Once, I went to a psychiatrist. I took the medicine. And those medicines made me very low, numb. I became so numb that I felt like… I mean, I used to wake up. I used to go to the gym, take medicines, then I used to lose weight. I took medicines for 10 days. After 10 days, I still remember, it was December. And I said... And someone told me to stop it slowly because it has the opposite effects. I said, whatever the effect is, I won't take it. I went to Golden Temple. I bowed my head. I said, Baba ji, just give me some courage. I have to get out of this. That was the last time I took the medicine. It's not like it was a miracle overnight. But if you need help, please do get it.”

Arti concluded saying, “I did it slowly and came out of it. And not that I say that if you need help, please do that. Even after Bigg Boss, even during COVID, I was scared. So, I knew that I needed help. But then I spoke to a therapist. Because I think when you need help, you should ask for help. There is no harm in that. You get opinions from outside like normally. It's not an illness.”
