Popular reality‑TV personality Prince Narula recently spoke candidly on Double Date with Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi about a period of severe anxiety that forced him to stop working, avoid sleep, and consume a staggering 18 medication tablets daily. Despite a flourishing career, financial stability, and a supportive family, Narula’s experience underscores how mental‑health crises can strike without warning.

From Panic Attacks to Pill Overload

He described sudden palpitations, panic attacks that made him abandon his car mid‑road, and an inability to watch a movie without fleeing the theater. “For six months I could not sleep at night; the darkness itself terrified me,” Narula recounted. The relentless stress spiked his cholesterol, caused liver fatigue, and introduced a cascade of new health problems. “There was a period when I was taking 18 tablets a day,” he admitted.

Family’s Emotional Burden

Wife Yuvika Chaudhary broke down while recalling how she rushed to Chandigarh after receiving a desperate message from Narula: “I’m in a very bad shape. I can’t take it anymore.” She described his rapid weight loss—about 20 kg—and a visible change in complexion. “The hardest part was protecting our daughter from the turmoil,” Yuvika said, emphasizing the pressure of juggling motherhood, household responsibilities, and her husband’s unseen battle.

Music as Therapy

Narula credits music as his primary coping mechanism. “Whenever anxiety returns, I head to the studio and create music; it diverts my mind and heals me,” he explained. This therapeutic outlet, combined with a supportive partner, helped him gradually regain stability.

Looking Forward

Both Narula and Chaudhary stress the importance of open dialogue about mental health, especially in regions where the concept of “anxiety” remains unfamiliar. Their story serves as a reminder that even those who appear to have it all can suffer silently, and that early intervention, family backing, and creative expression can pave the way to recovery.
