"There was only one really toxic relationship that I was in. Initially, he did not show me all these traits and then later after a couple of months, when I was in madly love with him. He started to get very possessive in a way like 'Why are you wearing this? Isn't your dress too short?' or 'Why were you talking to that guy?' I was like, 'I am working, I am on a set, he's my co-actor. He is literally playing my brother-in-law'. So I went through a lot of these things."

"When my anxiety kicked in. I never knew what was anxiety. I felt that it was like in general feeling anxious about something. I never knew that panic attacks and anxiety were actually a thing until I experienced it. So when this all started, I contacted a psychiatrist as I needed help. That's when I also realised that heartbreak can actually hurt you physically. So I just feel anytime you see this red flag, please get out."
