EXCLUSIVE: Debina Bonnerjee reveals how husband Gurmeet Choudhary was supportive during her battle with anxiety

Debina Bonnerjee and Gurmeet Choudhary welcomed their first child, daughter Lianna through IVF in April this year. The actress announced her second pregnancy months after Lianna’s birth. Debina gave birth to her second child, a baby girl on November 11. The actress has been very vocal about her pregnancies. Through her Instagram posts and vlogs, Debina kept fans updated. There have been times she felt low in life. And now, in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble for the second season of XtraOrdinary You, Debina got candid as she opened up about dealing with anxiety. Debina Bonnerjee also shared how husband Gurmeet was like a ‘supportive partner’.

The actress shared, “I think that there cannot be lower times than what I have seen because it wasn’t depression, it was real. Some how I feel depression is a phase of mind when you are not in a really pathetic situation but you are thinking that ok fine this is what is happening to me because this has happened to me before. I just felt that I am unwell and unwell and unwell and I started feeling unwell. I mean little bit of conversation and therapy helped me come out of it and I later realized that I was fine but what was happening to me was real situation. It was real and those emotions were real and every day was real and every test was real and every weight was real. I wouldn’t say that it was depression, it was a really low phase of life I will say.”

Debina continued, “But somehow I knew every time I was feeling with my own life I have seen when you hit your lowest low, even when you hit the high, the low is gonna come and when you hit your low, high is gonna come. Life is like a wave. So, if you feel over excited when you are in your highest point know that you’re gonna hit your low again tomorrow. And when you are in your low just feel happy that somewhere that my high is gonna come, my day is gonna come because that kept me going. I have faced various situations this highs and lows. When I am on my lowest low, I was somewhere praying you know this is happening because a good day is coming. Acche din ayenge and acche din aaye (Good days will come and they came).”

Debina also gave credit to her husband-actor Gurmeet Choudhary who supported her during the tough times. She said, “It is not worth it if you do not have a supportive partner. It’s not worth it because it’s not your journey alone and you are not in a mission to prove that I am a woman only when I am able to do it. It’s not your journey alone because it is your journey as a couple and to have a family so it is not your blame. I never felt that I am at fault or I am at this thing. It was our plan not to have child earlier on in my life. It was our plan. We could have decided otherwise. So, it is not my alone burden that I am not able to conceive even if you are fine. It could have happened the other way around for various couples but always blaming the woman or rather the woman taking it up all on herself that I am not able to do it, it is my fault and it is the wrongest thing. It is not worth it if you do not have a supportive life partner and a supportive family.”
