Veteran actor Deepti Naval shared her struggle with depression via an old poem in the wake of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise.

Naval, one of India’s finest talents and a champion of parallel cinema, on Monday posted the poem “Black Wind”, which she wrote in 1991 to describe her battle with depression, on Facebook.

“Dark days these… So much has been happening – mind has come to a point of stillness… Or rather numbness. Today I feel like sharing a poem I wrote back in the years when I was fighting depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts – Yes, fighting… and like how,” Deepti wrote alongside the poem.

She had earlier shared a tweet about her experience of working with Sushant.


Deepti Naval, who made her debut in Shyam Benegal’s 1978 Junoon, soon became one of the stars of the parallel film movement of the 1980s. She starred in films like Chashme Buddoor, Ankahee, Mirch Masala and Katha.
