Bigg Boss 16: Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia reveals she had been put on medication for her mental health issues for a year but she stopped on her own
Bigg Boss 16 recently witnessed Archana Gautam returning back to the house. Her gang Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Soundarya Sharma, Ankit Gupta, and Gautam Vig welcomed her with warm hugs. Later in the episode, Nimrit went inside the confession room and talked to Bigg Boss about feeling lonely and depressed for quite some days.
The Choti Sardarni actress opened up about her anxiety and depression and shared, “Yes Bigg Boss since 3 – 4 days I have not been feeling well, I am a little claustrophobic in such a way that you know I don’t know if you have understood about my nature but I am not that person who keeps things inside me. I mean to say at night I am unable to sleep because my mind is very cluttered and I can feel that my brain is feeling a little exhausted. And it’s not that I am not strong, Bigg Boss I hope this conversation is between us?”
Bigg Boss assured her and replied “Obviously this entire conversation is between you and me”, then Nimrit adds “ok so then can I just cry a little and go?”.
Nimrit breaks down into tears. Bigg Boss asked her, “Are you happy with the way you are representing yourself in the house/show”, and Nimrit goes on saying “I have always tried to be real and will remain like that.”
Bigg Boss further advised her to find someone in the house who she feels comfortable sharing her feelings with. Nimrit said, “It’s Abdu and Sajid ji but mostly Abdu who has never judged me.”
After coming out of the confession room, Nimrit talked with Shiv Thakare and MC Stan about her depression. She told Shiv, “There is too many things filled inside me and he asked to talk it out with others. I don’t know if you know but I had depression and anxiety for a year and it’s not like I have fully recovered. I have been on medication for a year or so, and 4-5 months before coming here. I had stopped my medication on my own. So it gets difficult. For the last 3 – 4 days my mind is suffering and while I am sleeping it’s overcrowded with thoughts.”
Shiv and MC Stan asked her to come and talk to them anytime she feels the need to.
