Yo Yo Honey Singh Reveals Shah Rukh Khan And Deepika Padukone Supported Him During His Dark Phase

Mental health is pretty much a taboo in our society and is not always discussed with an open mind. However, more and more celebrities are now trying their best to shed light on the important topic which needs to be discussed more openly. They are also sharing their personal stories to inspire fans, so that the ones suffering from such issues can talk about it with their loved ones and confidantes without the fear of being judged. Rap star Yo Yo Honey Singh, who was away from the limelight for a while, has recently opened up about his experience with depression and alcoholism.

In a chat with Pinkvilla, he shared that it was a terrible phase for him. A lot was going on with his mental well being and he had also become an alcoholic. He did not sleep much and eventually the ‘disease’ began growing inside him. He recalled, “It took me 3-4 months to accept that I'm actually not well. It was a dark phase and I would request everyone to not hide it. Especially, an artists is like a mirror for an audience. When we can share every bit of our lives, why not this?”

Thankfully, Honey Singh had many loved ones around him who extended their support and helped him heal. He stated, “The entire family and friends took care of me. In fact, there are many people from the industry who supported me. Shah Rukh bhai and Deepika Padukone helped me and since Deepika has also been through a similar phase, so she shared a Delhi based doctor's number with my family for me. They all prayed for me to get well and main theek ho gaya.”

There’s a lot we can learn from the rap star’s experience. No matter what it is that is troubling you, talk about it and open up to your loved ones. Take professional help if needed, because there’s nothing wrong in wanting to get better and heal! It may seem difficult, but it will never be impossible.
