Shefali
Jariwala,
who
became
popular
with
her
music
video
'Kaanta
Laga'
and
goes
with
the
same
name
the
'Kaanta
Laga
girl',
came
to
limelight
again
after
her
Bigg
Boss
13
stint.
Recently,
while
talking
to
ETimes
TV,
the
actress
shared
her
experience
on
mental
health
problems
and
revealed
why
she
was
away
from
work
post
her
hit
music
video.
The
actress
was
quoted
by
ETimes
TV
as
saying,
"I
had
an
epilepsy
seizure
at
the
age
of
15.
I
remember
at
that
time
I
was
under
tremendous
pressure
to
do
well
in
my
studies.
Stress
and
anxiety
can
lead
to
seizures.
It's
interrelated,
you
could
get
a
seizure
due
to
depression
and
vice
versa.
I
have
got
seizures
in
classrooms,
backstage,
while
on
roads,
and
somewhere
that
lowered
my
self-esteem."
She
said
that
she
managed
depression,
panic
attacks
and
anxiety
naturally
and
with
the
help
of
a
strong
support
system,
and
she
is
free
from
seizure
since
nine
years.
She
added,
"After
I
did
'Kaanta
Laga',
people
asked
me
why
I
didn't
do
more
work.
I
can
now
say
that
it
was
because
of
the
epilepsy
seizures
that
I
couldn't
take
up
much
work.
I
didn't
know
when
I
would
get
my
next
seizure...
this
went
on
for
15
years.
Today,
I
am
nine
years
seizure-free.
I
am
proud
of
myself
because
I
managed
my
depression,
panic
attacks
and
anxiety
naturally
and
with
the
help
of
a
strong
support
system."
Shefali
said
that
pandemic
situation
has
been
tough,
but
she
consciously
worked
on
her
mental
health
and
stayed
away
from
any
kind
of
things
that
could
trigger
depression.
She
added
that
she
focused
on
doing
meditation,
yoga,
sketching,
drawing
and
other
things
that
kept
her
happy.
She
concluded
by
saying
that
exercise
and
positive
lifestyle
changes
helped
her
a
lot.
