The news about actor duo Karan Mehra-NishaRawal’s marriage hitting a rough patch has shocked many, and people from within the industry have started coming out to express their support to either side. While the former spoke to us, Rawal arranged a press conference on Tuesday and spoke about her husband’s alleged extramarital affair, and accepted that she had bipolar disorder. Present with her were her friends, actor-designer Rohit K Verma and actor-tarot card reader MunishaKhatwani.

“But I am not a psycho, it is a mood disorder. And you all know how balanced I am. I create content for the web, I make videos and write about things. I don’t have to prove anything,” she said.

Verma took to Instagram and alleged that he has been seeing Rawal “silently suffer for years” until she finally “decided to let out her cry for help and stand for herself and child” (Kaavish, her son with Mehra).“A far cry for help from a friend. Aghast to see my bestie in such a state. What makes a man become a demon in no time ?? My entire being is with my friend in this dark patch of her life ..she must rise up and give it a brave fight. Her pain, agony and harassment are beyond me to describe,” read his remaining post.

Khatwani too wrote in her Instagram post, “time to break the silence … time to wake up ..never judge a book by the cover as the saying goes and here is the proof .. as a tarot card reader and astrologer I had been told to keep mum as one of her closest friends. I cannot be quiet anymore :( @missnisharawal we stand by you. I have known for years but had to maintain silence..not anymore..”
