Alia Bhatt reveals how she can’t help sister Shaheen get over her depression

Mumbai, Dec 2: Alia Bhatt is known to be extremely close to her sister Shaheen. Needless to say, the 'Dear Zindagi' actress has been a pillar of strength for her elder sibling, who has been battling with depression since she was 13 years old.

While Shaheen spoke up about her depression a week ago, Alia shed more light on her sister's condition, in a recent interview to a daily. The actress explained that Shaheen had opened up to her family about her depression quite some time back and has been attending therapy sessions. She added that since Shaheen also suffers from insomnia, they have spent many sleepless nights talking.

However, the 'Highway' actress rued that despite sharing such a close bond, she "can't help Shaheen get over the depression". While Alia pointed out that she is always by her side to support her unconditionally, she also explained that at the end of the day, it is only Shaheen who can work herself out of the situation.
