Kamya Panjabi on Her Breakup With Karan Patel: I Was Into Depression, Was Undergoing Counselling

Kamya Panjabi reveals how she took two-and-a-half years to come back to normalcy after her breakup with Karan Patel and now, she's happily married.

Kamya added that it took her two-and-a-half years to get back to a healthy lifestyle that included sleeping and eating in time.

Kamya was quoted saying, “Frankly after Karan it took me two-and-a-half years to get back to a normal life. It is after two-and-a-half years that I started loving my life, I’m was eating, sleeping on time, talking to my friends and going to work and coming back. It took me two and a half years.” She equated that phase in life with being imprisoned. The actor said that she worked hard on herself to come out of that jail and she’s not going back there.

“After the breakup, I had gone under a shell, I was not eating, sleeping. I didn’t feel like doing anything. I was into depression. I was undergoing counselling and there were lots of things happening. And now, when I have started living my life, I am not ready to compromise or sacrifice for anyone or for anything. It felt like I was out of jail and I am not ready to go inside it again,” Kamya explained.
