New Delhi: Television actress Shama Sikander has been away from television last few years. Well now we know that why that happened. Shama took a break of two years for due to her bipolar disorder. Quite Shocking! But how she fought with it and came out as an inspiration is applaudable. In a recent interview give to TOI, Shama revealed that her ex-boyfriend Alexx O’Neil came to know about her disorder first and he wanted her to take medical help.Shama was so frustrated that time, that she wanted to give up. She added “I even tried to commit suicide one night. I kissed my mother good night and told her not to wake me up. After that, I swallowed several sleeping pills at one go. Just before slipping away, I texted my brother my bank account details, which made him panic. He immediately called my mother to check on me and I was rushed to the hospital three hours later.” Actress further said “I was angry with my family for saving me. I wanted to go and return as a new person. I didn’t see death as the end; rather, it was the beginning of a new life. I didn’t know that a rebirth was possible in the same life. But slowly, my soul awakened and I realised that it was a spiritual calling.” Shama also disclosed that why she broke up with Alex. She said “I was not able to take any more stress; I felt burdened not just by him, but also my family and friends. I realised that I had to let go despite loving him truly and deeply.” After her comeback, there has been many questions that actress has went under the knife. Shama denied all these rumours and explained “Everybody is looking for a quick-fix solution, but I have not undergone any surgery. When there are fillers available, why do you need surgery? There was a time when I considered liposuction, but when the doctor explained the procedure to me, I dropped the idea. It took me two years to get back into shape. The change in me came from within. I think good thoughts, which is why I look better now.” Shama has acted in various TV serials like 'Yeh Meri Life Hai', 'Man Mein Hai Vishwas', 'Seven' and many others. Kudos Shama Sikander for emerging in such a strong and beautiful way. All the best to you.
