The actress, who got married to Dipak Chauhan, recently revealed that she was sidelined from photos as she was not famous, which was one of the causes of her depression. She said that for her, the prize was Bigg Boss. She felt weak when she entered the Bigg Boss house and thought she might break down anytime. She knew it was her last chance to either make it or get eliminated. Fortunately, luck was on her side, and she made it to the top 5.
Talking about popping pills for depression because of mental struggle, Arti revealed, "Un dawaiyo ne bahut zyada low, numb kar dia. Mujhe aise laga mei hosho awaz mei nai uthti thi. Na gym karti thi, aati thi dawai khati thi, dheeli hoh jati thi. Haath pair chut jaate thei. Maine dawai 10 din khayi (Those medicines made me feel very low and numb. I felt like I wasn't fully conscious. I didn't go to the gym; I would come home, take the medicine, and feel completely lethargic. My hands and feet would go numb. I took the medicine for 10 days.)"
However, with her patience and perseverance, Arti Singh fought depression, came out of it, and got married to Dipak Chauhan on April 25, 2024. Indeed! All is well that ends well.
