Comedian Sidharth Sagar, known for Comedy Circus, is currently seen on The Kapil Sharma Show’s latest season. Sidharth, who has been tickling our funny bones with his humourous performances and unmatchable comic timing, has been fighting depression for a few years now. He had first opened up about his battle in 2018.
On World Mental Health Day this year (Monday, October 10), Sidharth recalled his struggles with mental health issues and addiction. The artist said that he has been working on keeping his mind and body healthy and has managed to stay clean for a year.
“Not only our industry, today in every industry, corporate world, students; everyone is going through depression and anxiety and are having sleeping pills or some or the other medications. So was I,” Sidharth told Hindustan Times.
He went on to recall his struggles and added, “I used to have 18 medicines as I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I was addicted, depressed, anxious, paranoid and would have hallucinations, schizophrenia and psychosis. Today, I have no medications, I have a healthy body and mind. I am one year clean from addiction, everything is at its place by God’s grace.”
Sidharth further said that he now gives his mental health as much importance as his physical well-being. The actor believes that money and success can only be obtained at a price but one should remember that the mind and body are priceless.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Sidharth is also seen in Riteish Deshmukh’s Case Toh Banta Hain.
