New Delhi: Comedian Kapil Sharma opens up about suffering from depression in 2017-18. The host of the hit comedy show - The Kapil Sharma Show, reveals that it was through media reports that he got to know that he was suffering from depression. Kapil also credits his wife Ginni Chatrath for being her rock during the difficult phase in his life.

Kapil spoke about his battle with depression at Fever FM’s Bounce Back Bharat Fest. The comedian said he did not understand mental illnesses and nor did his mother as she is from a small village but his Ginni understood what he was going through and was his pillar of strength. Kapil also shared that it was because of the media that he got to know he was suffering from depression.

“So at that moment, you don’t feel that anything will change because all things seem negative at that time. Don’t know what kind of chemical gets released in your brain that doesn’t allow you to think positively. But my family gave me strength at the time, especially my wife, Ginni. She knew everything about what was happening in my life. No one else did,” shared the comedian.
