Mahesh
Bhatt's
Chilling
Revelation
"My
daughter
Shaheen
discovered
she's
suffering
from
clinical
depression
at
16.
She
also
came
to
a
point
of
considering
suicide
at
the
age
of
12-13.
This
happened
at
home."
Movie
Industry
Is
A
'High
Stress
Business'
"It
(films)
is
a
high
stress
business
and
that's
why
not
many
can
do
it.
That's
why
you
have
people
prone
to
substance
abuse,
mood
swings.
You
have
a
tendency
to
gravitate
towards
depression
because
you
are
dependent
continuously," Mahesh
was
quoted
as
saying
by
PTI.
It
Takes
A
Lot
Of
Courage
"When
you
show
a
trailer,
you
constantly
wonder
if
there'll
be
claps.
It
takes
a
lot
of
courage
to
be
on
the
centre
stage
and
hope
that
people
will
shower
compliments
on
you.
However
big
a
filmmaker
is,
the
day
the
film
opens,
everyone
is
scared."
Surviving
In
The
Showbiz
Is
Not
Everyone's
Cup
Of
Tea
"No
one
has
been
saved
by
this
and
this
is
the
entertainment
industry's
speciality.
That's
the
way
it
has
been
and
it'll
remain
so.
Very
few
can
sustain
this,
others
leave
and
run
away."
He
further
added,
"Even
in
our
industry,
a
girl
gave
away
her
life.
She
came
to
us
for
work
once
but
we
couldn't
work
together.
I
still
remember
seeing
her
body,
the
one
who
came
here
to
work.
I've
seen
this
side
of
the
city
too."
Shaheen's
Battle
With
Depression
"I've
lived
with
depression
since
I
was
12-years-old
and
since
then
I've
been
suicidal
on
more
than
one
occasion.
I've
experienced
the
sheer
terror
of
contemplating
a
life
filled
with
unrelenting
anguish,
and
I've
been
consumed
by
the
terrifying
thought
of
having
but
a
single
means
of
escape
from
a
bleak,
unbearable
future,"
read
an
excerpt
from
an
article
penned
by
Shaheen
in
Vogue
magazine
where
she
spoke
about
her
battle
with
depression.
