Bollywood and TV celebs who had suicidal thoughts
September 10 marks World Suicide Prevention Day and several celebs have opened their heart out as they addressed their issues. Celebs have time and again proved that they are not only a pretty face but also an inspiration for many.

From Urofi Javed to Mrunal Thakur; here is a list of celebs who had thoughts of committing suicide, but fought ordeals and how!
Mrunal Thakur
Jersey actress Mrunal Thakur revealed about jumping off the train when she was young. In an interview with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, Mrunal said in Hindi, “There were a lot of responsibilities as well. At that time, I used to think that if I didn’t do this well, I would be nowhere. I thought I would be married off at 23 and have kids, and that is exactly what I did not want. I wanted to do something different and I would give auditions back then. There were many points where I felt like I was good for nothing. I used to travel by local trains. I used to stand at the door and sometimes, I would feel like jumping off.' Later, she clarified though and mentioned that the interview was taken a little out of context.
Ilean D'Cruz
Bollywood actress lleana D'Cruz opened up about having suicidal thoughts in the past. The Raid actress has been pretty vocal about everything and she recently shared that it was due to a very sensitive topic that she had these thoughts in her mind. She clarified that the thoughts were not due to her body image. She has time and again spoken about suffering from body dysmorphic disorder but it had nothing to with having suicidal thoughts. To Bollywood Hungama, the actress said, 'I came across an article because many people messaged me that 'we didn't know this about you.' It was I think meant in good intent, but it annoyed me because a lot of stuff was taken out of context. Yes, I've had body issues, from the time I was probably 12, I was very self-conscious. that's one aspect.' She further added, 'The other aspect about the suicidal bit, it is a very very sensitive topic, and there has been a time where I hit a really low point in my life, and it got to a situation where I was thinking about stuff, but it wasn't related to body issues. Those are two separate issues, so I didn't like the fact that they clubbed them together like that 'oh you know because she had body issues.' I said, 'no,' not to say that if somebody else is going through something like that, you should downplay it.' She is not the only one who has spoken about having suicidal thoughts.

You start thinking 'why am I irritable, why is there no one around me. Why can I not achieve success'. Too many questions and no answers. There I realised that the problem is somewhere within. There is a lot that I cannot understand, but there is also nobody to guide me. We do not have formal education about it, no one talks about depression.' Rubina shared that she looked up online and relied on yoga and meditation to come out of the phase.

Failed career, failed relationships, no money made me feel like a loser who doesn’t deserve to live. I still don’t have a lot of money, successful career and I’m still single but I have hope. The only reason I’m alive today (trust me there have been so many incidents in my life which nearly killed me) is because I never stopped. I kept walking and I’m still walking.'

You have to give yourself time and energy. People must go and take medicines. Your brain chemicals fluctuate and can make you feel worthless. Circumstances make you feel like that. It is ok to give up but important to know when you bow down, you have that capacity to get up. You can heal. There is light after darkness.
