In a candid interview, Hiba Ali recently opened up about her personal struggles, including her divorce and the ensuing battle with depression.
“Just because you can’t see someone’s mental illness doesn’t mean it’s not there,” Hiba stated somberly. “It’s not a personal failing. This can happen to your kids, your loved ones. You won’t be able to bear it and they won’t either. People who are suffering from depression commit suicide.”The actress explained that she refrains from talking about her struggle with depression because she won’t even get “sympathies”. “People will dub it an attention-seeking stunt, that I am taking some kind of mileage or benefit, but it is not the case.”Hiba didn't shy away from discussing her divorce, a topic that many in the public eye prefer to keep private. “For me, it was always unplanned. I always wanted to live with my husband because he was the father of my son. I wanted to live with an understanding. He was a good person. We just lacked an understanding of basic matters. He was educated, and I was a sensible girl. We couldn’t stay fighting daily over trivial things. We decided on divorce at a dinner table.”
