“There were times in the show when I couldn’t handle things anymore, and they would ask me how could they help me. The makers were very supportive. My body has gone through a lot physically and mentally. I see myself at a very peaceful stage because I feel ab isse zyaada kya hoga mere saath. I’ve crossed that stage. I feel that. I will see how things go and then opt for therapy.”
