India’s singing sensation and Indian Idol judge opens up on her mental and physical ailments The melodious crooner says she faces acute anxiety bouts apart from thyroid issues

In the 12th season of Indian Idol, India’s quite a famous singing competition among aspiring new singers, Neha Kakkar, the melodious singer and its judge for the past few sessions in a row, revealed that despite having a wonderful life, she has issues that trouble her immensely,

She said, like Anushka Sharma, a highly successful film actor, she also has anxiety bouts apart from thyroid issues. In fact her thyroid is a result of her frequent bouts of anxiety. She also said that faces major physical issues due to the two.

She stated, “I have a wonderful life, a beautiful family, husband, riches and successful career. Yet, I feel ill because of my anxiety issues that leave me pained regularly. Handling this, is quite a task.”

This is to be noted that psychologists say that all physical issues stem from worries, over thinking that lead to anxiety issues, which further give easy way to problems like depression and anxiety bouts, followed by thyroid and body-aches. Kakkar, as always has been open about her troubled childhood spent in financial crisis while her major support, her elder sister Sonu Kakkar and brother Tony Kakkar have immensely helped her, as they halted themselves to make a way for her.

The Kakkar sisters were stage crooners at jagratas which would fetch them some money to survive the kitchen needs. However, with dedication, hard work and some hits that she could give after rounds of popular songs, Neha has also been a media’s favourite due to her bubbly behaviour, an honest outlook at things and her emotional sel. Her emotional nature often makes her break down publically; the public that love sob stories and media that laps them up for TRPS.

Neha, working since 2008, so far has sung less than 200 songs that include most in Hindi films, apart from non-Hindi and Hindi non-film ones. Her most songs have been jazzy, item numbers and foot-tapping ones that elated her to success. The nasal tone and high pitch in her voice makes her a wee bit unique among many. However, she is often said to be overrated and over-publicised as she is not a trained singer.

Her revelation, never quite a news among celebrities, however, point out that the richer and the successful are not always happy. They have their own physical and mental ailments they deal with while presenting a smiling face to the public at large.
