                      Great people who faced depression and mental illness as revealed public-ally

     1  Kapil Sharma

       Comic star Kapil Sharma who was taken to great heights of success and with the same swiftness was also taken down by media and his fans was being treated in Bangalore for his depression recently. The man is now back in Mumbai. It has been learnt that before checking into a rehab, Kapil had become a recluse. He used to shut himself in a room and not meet anybody. His good friends Chandan Prabhakar and Rajiv Thakur stayed by him. Chandan Prabhakar was also apparently insulted by him on the flight back from Australia which is when Kapil's downfall started. But Chandan kept everything aside to be with Kapil in his bad time. One also learns, that Kapil is not yet over his ex Preeti Simoes. While his family likes his fiance Ginni Chatarath, he is still in Preeti's love. Even after Preeti left his production house K9, the two kepe in touch. There were also some reports of Kapil and Ginni's fallout. But there is not confirmation on the same.

     2  Deepika Padukone
       
        Deepika Padukone also spoke on her trial with depression in a TV show. She said, “Two years back, my family had come to see me. They were about to leave and I was all alone in my bedroom, curled up. My mother walked in and asked if everything was okay, I said yes. She asked again if it was work or something else that was bothering me, I said no. She asked me so many times that I felt myself choking and I broke into tears….I want to tell my mother that if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be here. Thank you for being with me all through the way. Thank you to my sister, my father and friends who supported my immensely.”
     
  3  Anushka Sharma

      Anushka Sharma also revealed, “I have anxiety. And I’m treating my anxiety. I’m on medication for my anxiety. Why am I saying this? Because it’s a completely normal thing. It’s a biological problem. In my family there have been cases of depression. More and more people should talk openly about it. There is nothing shameful about it or something to hide. If you had a constant stomach pain, wouldn’t you go to the doctor? It’s that simple. I want to make this my mission, to take any shame out of this, to educate people about this.”

   4. Ileana D'Cruz

      Ileana D'Cruz on depression, “I’m glad I’m not one of those people who’s in denial. I know there’s something seriously wrong. I’m aware that I am flawed, I’m aware that I have issues, I’m aware that I need to be able to be healthy, not just physically but mentally. I know that I want to do something about it. I think that’s the most – strangely – defining moment for me. Work is secondary, for me what’s important is having a close-knit family and having someone you can call family. Someone you can actually be yourself with, because that’s what’s important at the end of the day – money comes, money goes. It’s not going to make you happy.”

   5 Manisha Koirala

     Manisha Koirala shared on her facebook once, “How slowly, shadows of my past friendships are becoming distant dream… did I have bunch of friends with whom there were promises of life time? Disappointed, yes I m…but then life fills you with new hope, new friends…hoping this time round it would be rooted in deep values rather then just crazy, fun times!!”

   6 Sharukh Khan (SRK)

     SRK also went through depression when he got his shoulder surgery done, “I feel so much healthy and refreshed from within — due to the injury and the suffering I had got into a depression mode but now I am out of it. I feel happy and boosted with energy.”

   7 Asha Parekh

       Veteran actress Asha Parekh also went under depression from 1959 to 1973. She once spoke about it, “It was a very bad phase for me. I lost my parents. I was totally alone and I had to manage everything all alone. It did put me in depression. I was feeling miserable and had these (suicidal) thoughts. Then I got out of it. It is a struggle, I had to take aid of the doctors to get out of it.”

    8 Karan Johar

        Karan Johar also opened up about depression when he said, “I have read people speaking openly about their depression. There was a phase in my life, when I was really depressed. When I went through that phase, I thought I am getting a cardiac arrest. I felt it in middle of a meeting two and half years ago, after which I left the meeting in between saying I have something urgent to do and rushed to the doctor. He then said I am having an anxiety attack. I went to a psychologist post that. Then I realized that I had some internal issues to deal with, which got built up to such point that it resulted into anxiety.”

     9 Tiger Shroff

        Tiger Shroff also shared, “I started on a high with Baaghi (2016). I was over the moon when it opened on 12 crore and did 15 crore on a Sunday. For a newcomer and for a second film, that’s pretty good. And then kept going up. But when the numbers for A Flying Jatt came in, I thought, ‘I put in so much work, why didn’t they like it?’” A month of hard-core depression. A lot of emotional eating. When I started shooting for Munna Michael, I was still in that mindset. I didn’t have any drive. But after I finished my first schedule, I thought, ‘I can’t wait for people to see this now.”
