Shama Sikander is possibly one of the most recognised faces in TV world. The actress who gained supreme stardom years back because of her popular soaps, was recently in news for her candid confessions. 

Shama had revealed that she found out that she suffers from bipolar disorder. Not many celebrities come out to the fore, addressing the issue of mental illnesses but Shama's one brave woman who didn't shy away from it. 

Talking to a leading daily, she recalled the horrifying episode of her life and confessed that she even attempted suicide once. "I started finding conversations boring. I didn't want to meet anyone and stopped liking myself. Everybody I met during that phase was bored of life. My career and love life added to the stress. I wasn't eating or looking right. This can't be overnight; I am sure it must have been accumulating since several years," she said. 

It was her ex boyfriend Alexx O'Neil who found out that she suffers from the disorder. She recalls, "Alexx, who has a degree in Psychology, suspected that I had bipolar disorder and advised me to consult a doctor. But at that time, I didn't want to get cured; I just wanted to give up. Though my life was going great, I was bored of it; nothing would impress or excite me. 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."

She soon understood the value of life and started recovering, she tells Times Of India. "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."
