Singer Neha Bhasin has a beautiful and unique voice, which has helped her carve a successful career in the Bollywood industry. She is known for delivering superhit songs like Dunki, Kuch Khaas, Asalaam-e-Ishqum, Jag Ghoomeya and more. But this fame was not since the beginning. The singer recently revealed that she had gone through body shaming at a very young age. She even shared a particular incident, which led her to commit suicide at the mere age of 20 years.
Neha Bhasin revealed during a heartfelt conversation with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa at their podcast that she tried to take her life at the age of 20 after relentless body shamming. At that time, she was a part of the girl pop group Viva, which included Seema Ramchandani, Pratichee Mohapatra, Mahua Kamat, and Anushka Manchanda. Neha recalled being put on fat burners in 2003, just a year after launching her career. She mentioned that she was unaware of what those pills could do to her body. She also recounted a distressing incident with a TV channel.

Neha Bhasin mentioned that a man from a channel humiliated her by projecting a video of her in a conference room and circling her stomach to show her how fat she was. Neha said, “See, you are so fat. Because of this, we can’t release the video. I was 50 kg at that time. I remember going home and, in anger, consuming more than half a bottle of fat burners. That was my way of trying to commit suicide. For two days, I was throwing up. The band didn’t know what had happened.”
