Anurag Kashyap’s daughter Aaliyah Kashyap is one of the most talked-about star kids in Bollywood. She recently opened up about her mental health issues. The diva has her own YouTube channel and she is recently posted a video in which she opened up about dealing with depression and anxiety. Aaliyah also said that situations have gotten worse to the point where she ended up in the hospital.
Aaliyah said in the video, “I have always dealt with anxiety and depression since I was a teenager, so maybe since I was 13-14. I have always dealt with it on and off but it has never been bad to the point where I couldn’t cope. It has always been easy for me to snap out of it. If I really wanted to snap out of it, I could. It was all in my head, it never bothered me to the point where it was like ruining my life. It wasn’t interfering with my life. Like I would feel depressed and anxious, but I could snap out of it.”

She further added about her experience of being quarantine while she tested Covid positive, “Since then, I just haven’t been able to snap out of it, which is weird for me, because usually, it is so easy for me to just snap out of it. I’ll do a therapy or counselling session and I’ll be fine for months or weeks. But it was really hard for me after November. I was just super low, constantly crying, feeling like there was no purpose to my life, like I didn’t want to exist or do anything. I thought I was a burden on everyone else and all of these negative interrupting thoughts in my head obviously aren’t true. But that is what it felt like.”
Aaliyah also said that in December the situation got so worse that she has to be hospitalized. Her parents had to flow down to the US to be with her, “Suddenly, my body became numb, completely numb. My heart started beating really fast. I started sweating. My body started violently trembling. Literally, I was like, ‘I am dying’. It felt like this was it for me and I was going to die. “
