Let’s normalize mental health, and congratulations to you. You are brave.”

A third user wrote: “Glad to hear you are perfectly fine now. More power to you, girl.

She described the first few weeks as hell, terrifying, lonely and extremely hard. However, she came out the other side feeling much better. The singer thanked the NIMHANS doctors and nurses.

Instead, she asked them to keep their heads up and heal.
