Shama Sikander was about to commit suicide after getting the disease from grandmother

Shama Sikander, who made her film debut with Fardeen Khan in 1998 with the film Prem Aag, made her television debut after appearing in numerous films and quickly became well-known in every household.

Shama Sikander's successful career in 'Yeh Meri Life' came to an end when she experienced the lowest point of her life and came dangerously close to suicide. Shama Sikander was actually suffering from mental health issues such as depression and bipolar disorder. In a recent interview, she addressed this issue.

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Shama Sikander said, "15 years ago I was in a bad phase. I had severe depression and bipolar disorder. Then I came to know that my grandmother can also have bipolar disorder because it is genetic. She also used to do such things, seeing as people used to say that she was possessed by a ghost. I have also done similar things. Since I am sensible and live in today's time, I was able to understand that I am not possessed by a ghost. That's when I left my career and the industry."
