India batsman Robin Uthappa speaks out on depression after Sushant's death

Expressing his shock which is "beyond understanding", India batsman Robin Uthappa on Sunday said it is completely fine to be not fine and one should always speak up about what's going on in the mind in the aftermath of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death. Uthappa, a key member of the 2007 World T20 winning Indian team, had recently revealed that he battled clinical depression and suicidal thoughts for nearly two years during his career, a phase when cricket was perhaps the only thing that kept him from "jumping off a balcony".

"Shocked beyond understanding. Cannot imagine the pain you must've been going through @itsSSR. My heart and prayers go out to your family. Rest in peace," Uthappa said in a tweet.

"I cannot reiterate this enough. WE NEED TO SPEAK ABOUT WHAT WE FEEL WITHIN. we are stronger than we understand and IT IS COMPLETELY OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY. #depression #MentalHealthMatters," Uthappa added. (IANS)
