Shami also stated about his life’s ‘worst phase’ which may have also led him to suicide.

“Depression is a problem that needs attention. It was unfortunate to see such a brilliant actor like Sushant Singh Rajput lose his life. He was a friend and I wish I could talk to him had I known about his mental condition. In my case, my family pulled me out of that phase. They took care of me and made me realize that I needed to fight back.” Shami said.

”I felt suicidal but my family ensured I was never alone. Someone or the other would always be around, talking to me. Spirituality also helps you seek answers. Talking to your close ones or counseling is the best way out.” he further added.
