The 51-year-old who participated in this season’s Bigg Boss has opened up about her addiction to alcohol and how she decided to be transparent about it. She said, “I recognized that I had a drinking problem. That’s why I openly shared my addiction and my decision to quit drinking. Because in our society, addiction and recovery are considered a man’s territory. Men are given the license to openly discuss alcohol addiction and recovery.”
She added, “However, women are discouraged from openly drinking and therefore, their recovery remains hidden. I used to drink openly, so when I decided to recover from alcoholism, I realized that I shouldn’t do it in secret.”
