Kajal Raghavani Opens Up About Mental Health Struggles on TV

In a candid segment of Rise and Fall 2, actress Kajal Raghavani spoke openly about a period when she attempted suicide by cutting the vein on her wrist. Contestant Niharika Tiwari noticed the scar and prompted Kajal to share the backstory.

Kajal emphasized that the act was a personal coping mechanism during a bleak phase of mental illness, not a reaction to a breakup or external conflict. She recounted feeling alienated from the world and lacking any motivation to continue living.

Host Manish Kshirsagar responded with empathy, noting the rarity of such admissions on reality television and urging participants to prioritize love and self‑care while letting go of toxic memories.

The episode underscores the importance of mental‑health dialogue within Indian reality formats, especially on platforms like Amazon Prime Video where Rise and Fall 2 reaches a broad audience.
