Remember Nikki Sharma, the TV actress who was in the news in April for posting a cryptic message, saying, ‘I tried but I am tired, I want to be free from my own thoughts (sic)’, following which she deleted all her posts and deactivated her Instagram account? The post had spread panic among her friends and colleagues from the industry and everyone tried to reach her that night to check on her. Post that incident, the Brahmarakshas 2 actress kept a low profile for about two months. Now, she is back and will be seen in a new TV show soon.
In an exclusive conversation, Nikki opens up about that night and how she has worked on herself and bounced back. She reveals, “I was going through a tough time emotionally at that point, as I wasn’t getting the kind of work I wanted to take up. Rejection par rejection aa rahe the harr jagah se. Before I could even realise, it had been a year-long wait. Also, around that time, my mom, who is my only support and family, suffered a second heart attack. It totally shook me. With all the problems coming together, I felt I needed a break, especially from social media because it can get quite toxic at times. Of course, later, I realised why my message got people so worried.”
