Shabana wishes recovery for her ‘colleague’ Raj Kiran

“I met him several years ago,when he was in a mental institution in Mumbai. And when I met him,after a little bit of confusion,he did have a spark of lucidity. And we had a nice warm conversation,and I believed at the time he is on his way to recovery.”

“I would like to state here that there is a stigma attached to mental illness,which is very sad because mental illness,just like a physical illness,can be cured with drugs. And I do hope that Raj Kiran will recover,” she said.

“As far as the film industry is concerned,there has been a sense of shock for all those who were not aware of his condition,” she said.
