The Mental Impact of Hosting Crime Patrol
Divyanka Tripathi recently opened up about her mental health on a podcast hosted by comedians Bharti Singh and her husband, Harsh Limbachiyaa. She described the difficulties she faced while hosting 'Crime Patrol.' The show featured segments on crimes against women, requiring her to read and anchor stories detailing horrific incidents. Each story presented a new tragedy, leading to nightmares and affecting her sleep.
Divyanka shared, "While anchoring 'Crime Patrol,' the events described in each story were so horrifying that they stayed with me. A woman leaves her home, and then something happens that is not only heartbreaking but also severely impacted my mental state after learning about it."
She continued, "At night, when I read the scripts, I would have nightmares and would go to the shoot the next day with a severe headache. This lasted for 3-4 months, and during this time, I experienced considerable mental stress."
Support from Vivek Dahiya
Divyanka further explained that her husband, Vivek Dahiya, provided crucial support during this period of mental distress. Vivek advised her on the importance of switching on and off during her work. He emphasized the need to fully immerse herself in the stories during the shoot but to actively disengage and restore her mental equilibrium afterward.
Divyanka credits Vivek's support and guidance for helping her overcome this challenging phase. She now views this experience as a valuable lesson in her career.
