I cut off from everyone, including family," Chopra said on the digital chat show, Tape Cast. the actress further continued: "I would be in my room, watching TV, sleeping, staring all day. I was a zombie. I would cry 10 times a day. I had this chest pain that would not go away." Pari's brother, Sahaj, proved to be a big support and helped her overcome it.
