In a motivating message, she said that she managed to survive the storm within her.

She wrote, "Tomorrow, the 10th of October is World Mental Health Day: Here is a little confession. I thought I was bulletproof until it hit me that I wasn't emotion proof. My mind started to play games with me the rules of which I didn't know. I survived because of yoga. My breaking point came on a day while I was in my first few yoga classes and my tears didn't stop. I SURVIVED THE STORM WITHIN ME. I will never call myself bullet proof because none of us are. I will call myself stable and in the path of continuously wanting to become mentally, physically & emotionally healthy. This is #mySARVAstory. Write to us with your story because ‘we are listening’."
