Several celebrities, including Deepika Padukone, Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt, over the years, have openly discussed their struggles with mental health and how they managed to overcome it. The latest to join the list is TV actress Divyanka Tripathi, known for her roles in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and Ramayan. In a recent conversation, she shared her personal experience with depression and how she came out of it.

During an interview with Pinkvilla’s Hindi Hush, Divyanka recalled, “My first show was the most traumatic of my life. Back then, I didn’t know what depression was. Today, people are more aware of mental health issues because of social media exposure.”

She added, “Kehte hain na ignorance is bliss. Shayad kyunki mujhe pata nahi tha ki main depression se guzar rahi hun, isiliye maine usko itna seriously nahi liya aur main nikal gayi. But woh mera ek phase tha jab meri aur doston ke saath mein baatein hoti thi ek kamre mein aur jaise hi woh ek do logon ke naam nikalte the, rona shuru ho jaati thi. (They say that ignorance is bliss. Maybe as I was unaware that I was suffering from depression, I did not take it seriously and eventually recovered. But that was a point in my life when I and my friends used to talk in a room, and as soon they mentioned the names of one or two people, I would start crying.)”

The Banoo Main Teri Dulhann actress highlighted every person should have a good therapist or a friend who can listen to them patiently.

Furthermore, Diyvanka recalled the initial days of her career and shared that she had poor management skills for which she suffered a lot. The actress said she didn’t know how to say no to anyone and believed that if she was asked to work for long hours, she would accept it.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Divyanka was last seen in the web show Magic of Shiri, which premiered on JioCinema. Besides her, the series also features an ensemble cast, including Jaaved Jaaferi, Namit Das, Darshan Jariwala, Nishank Verma and Parmeet Sethi.

She has still not announced her next project as of now.
