The actress was in news some time ago after she opened up about her battle with depression following her break-up with her Kasam - Tere Pyaar Ki co-actor, Lalit Bisht. She had then told us, “Initially, I couldn’t understand what was happening to me. I would suddenly break into tears, throw things around and shout loudly. I was not mentally healthy, and was also harming myself.”

She had added, “I have been battling depression for a year now. It also led to facial paralysis. The left side of my face was affected and I lost confidence. For an actor, her face is the tool of expression. I would cover my left profile with my hair and stopped attending events. I also started avoiding scenes where I had to shout. I was constantly doing rounds of hospitals and was even admitted several times. The team of the show would call doctors, who would give me injections and I would be able to shoot only after that. I was also dealing with hypertension syndrome and PCOD. In fact, there have been times when I had to call a doctor at home in the middle of the night to attend to my health woes. My team was considerate enough to let me take it easy. I haven’t recovered completely, as I still experience twitching on my face while talking.”
