Like Seriously? Uday Chopra Tweets About ‘Suicide’, Later Terms It “Dark Humour”

Actor-producer Uday Chopra, who has been lying low professionally, says he is “fine” and that his Twitter posts which got a section of social media users worried a day earlier, were only a result of his “dark humour”.

“Seems like I tweeted something recently that got a few of you worried. I’m totally fine, its just my dark humour that sometimes gets misunderstood. Thanks for all your concern though,” Uday tweeted on Sunday.

The post came a day after Uday left social media users in a tizzy with a post which he later deleted. Screenshots of his now deleted tweets did the rounds online.

He had written: “For a few hours I deactivated my Twitter account. It felt as close to death as I could get. Was phenomenal! I think this is a good option to suicide. I might be doing it permanently soon.”

In another tweet, he wrote: “Confession: I’m not okay. I am trying but so far I’m failing.”

This led to a barrage of “Get well soon” and “Stay strong” from his well-wishers on social media. One user even questioned: “Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar and all those who claim to be his well wishers… what the hell are you guys doing? This guy has been crying out aloud for help for ages now!!! You guys will talk all rubbish about depression in public and give a damn about your own friend?”

It wasn’t the first time Uday’s posts alluded to depression.
