"We all are suffering in our lives one way or another. Sometimes, we feel like talking about it and it actually really helps. It helped me a lot," continued Haider. "I'm not the kind of person who would share his personal life publicly. But when you surpass your limits, I think that's when talking about it becomes a necessity. And that's exactly what I did."

He further added, "The kind of support I received from with the industry, from my fellow actors, peers, friends and fans, has only made me believe that we should never hide it. We should always talk about it."
