In 'Ask Me Anything' session hosted a few weeks ago, Trishala Dutt was asked if she is single. To which, she had replied, "Yes". In another session, Trishala was asked to comment on her father, Sanjay Dutt’s drug addiction in the past. When Trishala was asked, "Since you are a psychologist, what’s your opinion on your father’s past drug addiction?", she had explained, "First it's important to note that addiction is a chronic disease characterised by drug seeking and use that is compulsive or difficult to control, despite harmful consequences. The initial decision to take drugs is voluntary for most people, but repeated drug use can lead to brain changes that challenge an addicted person’s self-control and interfere with their ability to resist intense urges to take drugs. These brain changes can be persistent, which is why drug addiction is considered a "relapsing" disease- people in recovery from drug use disorders are at increased risk for returning to drug use even after years of not using drugs."
Speaking about her father, Sanjay Dutt's addiction and how proud she is of him for admitting it and seeking help, Trishala Dutt continued, "After a while, it does not become a want anymore, but rather a need to feel "normal" because of how their brain chemicals have changed by drug abuse. They are no longer "chasing" a high, it’s about chasing normalcy for them now. – which is heartbreaking. *All of us* should have compassion for this disease and for the people and families it effects. When it comes to my father's past drug use, he will always be in recovery. It's a disease he has to fight every. single. day. even though he's not using anymore. I'm proud of my father for admitting he had a problem, taking initiative, and seeking help for it. There is nothing, not a damn thing, to be ashamed about."
