Actor Nisha Rawal held a press conference on Tuesday evening to share her side of things amid reports of domestic violence. Her husband, actor Karan Mehra was arrested and later released on bail after she filed a complaint of physical assault against him on Monday.

Karan, in multiple media interviews, spoke about how Nisha had herself hit her head against the wall and threatened to ‘ruin’ his life with false allegations. He had also said that Nisha was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had a ‘violent anger streak’.

News Update:

In her press conference, Nisha said that she indeed was diagnosed with bipolar disorder but was ‘not a psycho’. “Bipolar is a mood disorder which happens due to extreme trauma and it’s genetic sometimes. I was diagnosed with bipolarity and I am not going to lie about it as I am not ashamed about it. But I am not a psycho, it is a mood disorder. And you all know how balanced I am. I create content for the web, I make videos and write about things. I don’t have to prove anything,” she said.

She said that she had a miscarriage in 2014 and Karan was not there for her support. “In September 2014, I was 5 months pregnant and I lost my child. Recently, I made a Mom’s group where women who lost their child can speak up about it as when I lost my child I did not have anyone to talk about the loss. I wanted to go to my parents and talk to them because it was a very big trauma for me. In the middle of it my husband was beating me up, abusing me, he was unavailable, totally detached and that’s when I went to a therapist. In fact, Karan had stopped me from going to a therapist, he didn’t let me go to a gym, he was very controlling in everything,” she said.
