Nisha said “Yes I am a bipolar, and as soon as I say that people raise their eyebrows and say ‘Pagal Hai Kya Yeh?’ And the worst part is, My Bipolarity was used as an excuse to escape! He just put it on me, and said that just because she is bipolar, she is mad so she did that to herself”.

She further continued, “When I lost my baby, I wasn’t even allowed to cry. Imagine 5 months we were sorting everything out for the baby, right from the craddle to the breast pump etc. And during that time my partner did not support and that’s when the doctor said that you are going through a depressive state of bipolarity. I have had enough of mental, emotional abuse and this journey has been since then. And today I am confessing it just to put the message that ‘its okay to cry’. And when you show strength and inspire others, the world becomes a better place”.

All the inmates lauded her for her bravery and some of them came ahead and hugged her for her bravery and courage.
