26 Mar, 2019

The ‘Dhoom’ fame actor Uday Chopra left fans in a tizzy when he posted some really cryptic tweets in which he said ‘he is not okay’ and might think about taking his own life. He later deleted his tweets and posted a clarification dismissing them as ‘dark humour’.

Twitter was flooded with messages concerning over the actor's tweets and some even speculated about Uday's mental health.

Uday initial tweet hinted at the actor suffering from depression. He tweeted, “For a few hours I deactivated my Twitter account. It felt as close to death as I could get. Was phenomenal! I think this is a good option to suicide. I might be doing it permanently soon”.

He also tweeted, “Confession: I'm not okay. I am trying but so far I'm failing”.

After deleting his tweets, Uday assured that he is doing fine and it was just a dark humour which was misunderstood. He even appreciated fans concern.

He has posted similar cryptic posts earlier too. Last year, he tweeted, “If you or a loved one is suffering from a mental illness, get help. Remember you cannot will it away. You cannot just 'think positive' or 'shake it off' or 'be strong'. It's the same as asking a person with a broken leg to just walk it off. There is no shame in it”.
