Be it a reality show or Bigg Boss, I have done it. But I had to take a break after coming out of the house because it is too draining. Also audience gets a little bored of you seeing you on television in similar roles back to back. If you see anybody's successful career, the actors have always taken a break. Take anybody even it is a film star or a TV actor. I am very happy with the way my life is turning out more now in fact. I love my life more now.

Speaking about depression she said, “I don't understand why people don't talk about depression. It is such an important topic. Statistics say something and the country says something.

Worst thing is we are not even aware that someone is going through something and it is a disease that can happen to anyone.”
