It was in 2016 that Shaheen Bhatt revealed she was going through depression since her teenage years, and wrote about it extensively in her book, Never Been (Un) Happier. When Shaheen released the book, sister Alia Bhatt got emotional about it and penned her thoughts through an Instagram video, where she wrote: "Dear Shaheen.. Somehow when I finished reading your book I couldn't tell you how I felt immediately.. Cause I felt too much.. And I don't think I could ever discuss it with you properly.. I've tried now! "
