Popular TV personality Rashami Desai, who was part of the recently concluded season of Bigg Boss, hosted by Salman Khan, has opened up on battling depression for years following her miscarriage and subsequent divorce.

In an interview with an entertainment portal, Rashami reportedly stated, "I was into deep depression almost for four years and I really wanted to leave the life. I did not want to see anybody's face. You know when you expect something and get something else and the life will give you surprises in many way and when you are not ready to lead the reality, you somehow find it difficult."

Rashami was married to her Uttaran co-star Nandish Sandhu for a few years before the couple decided to mutually separate. Her miscarriage has been cited as one of the reasons for their divorce. The actress further added, "Professionally I was doing good because I was always loyal to my work and I used to feel happy while working. In fact, depression is the only thing which helped me come out of depression. It gave me more power and more life. Personally, whatever I was going through I never let that affect my work. But my life has been a open book."
