During her time as a contestant on Bigg Boss 13, Arti Singh experienced a panic attack inside the house. She openly discussed what was arguably one of the most triggering moments of her life in a public forum. In July, she responded to Cyrus Broacha’s mental breakdown on Bigg Boss OTT 2. Cyrus had made the difficult decision to voluntarily exit the show due to struggles with health issues.

Reacting to the same, the actress stated, “It can be very draining for people who are not used to politics and lack patience. They may feel stuck and want to leave. However, that is where their strength lies, in not giving up. They don’t have to prove anything to anyone; it’s their own journey. Even I have experienced panic attacks, but one has to be stronger than any given situation. I’m sure he will fight it.”

Arti Singh, who made her debut in the 2007 show Maayka, has made a mark in the television industry with appearances in popular daily soaps like Uttaran, Mahadev, Vikram Betaal Ki Rahasya Gatha, and Sasural Simar Ka. She was among the top 5 finalists in Bigg Boss 13 and was also seen in a comedy reality show, Comedy Nights Bachao. Currently, the actress is seen in Ummeed Ki Roshni Shravani.
