These are the days when many popular personalities are sharing their own stories of fight with depression. Joining the list is Nandini Rai. The actress attributed the cause of her depression to failures in her professional life.
“I had a promising start to my career, with three big films initially in 2012, but some of the projects were shelved and a few did not work out,” she said.
Nandini said she had hoped that her 2015 release ‘Mosagallaku Mosagadu’ would get her the success that she was looking for but that was not the case. And, this made things worse for her.
“I got suicidal thoughts; I wanted to jump from my terrace or cut my wrists. I spent several sleepless nights thinking about my life, my career and other personal issues. I was all over the place and literally clueless,” she said.
Nandini added that it was only after suffering for two years that she decided to seek professional help. “I got pets at home and started spending more time with them. I started investing in the share market and started to learn more about it,” she added.
“I started speaking to my parents a lot more and took up kick boxing as a hobby. It was also then that I got into Bigg Boss (2018).Depression haunted me but I did not give up and fought till the end,” said the actress, who is now doing projects in multiple languages.
