All I say is that nobody should feel so hopeless and nobody should go through that feeling. It's incredibly sad and incredibly tragic," said Sonam.
"I think no man is worth it and you don't want to do that to you family. I can never pretend to understand what that person feels and at times such conditions are medical. All I would say is that get help and depression should be treated. I think it's important as she was a beautiful girl and very young. Depression is medical and hopefully we have right doctors. Jiah's suicide is unfortunate and if people know about doctors they should put online and let people know about help lines" expressed the Kapoor daughter.
On being asked about any advice for the aspiring actors, who might have to go through failure, Sonam said, "All I would say that you should look at your life in the right way. My ambition in life is not to be number one actor."
"Everyday when I get up I say I have attitude with gratitude. I am grateful that I have a family who loves me, people recognize me and you need to be grateful. If you achieve success be grateful. One should not look at life as success of career, but whole rounded life. Career should be secondary but it should be important. So in last five years whenever my career goes up or down, I have always decided to be fine and that's why I am happy," concluded Sonam.
