Rashami Desai opens up about depression

While exclusively talking to us, Rashami Desai explained, "There was a time when I was in depression for eight years, it took me time. There was a lot of baggage that I was carrying. It took me years to cut down on everything and start again and now I am back. Toh mughe aisa lagta hai ki highs and lows aap khud decide karte ho (So I feel that you yourself decide your highs and lows). Journey aapke kaam ki koi aur decide nahi karta. Work give me peace. And ye mera escape world bhi tha which I realised very late. Now I am working very finely on both the sides and I am keeping a beautiful balance."Take a look at the entire video here:
