Singer Kumar Sanu's daughter Shannon K shares how social media impacted her when she was a teenager and new on digital medium. She said she was depressed and harmed herself after she fell prey to those commenting on her while growing up.
Shannon told India Today, “I was 14 or 15 years old and I was fresh on social media. So, I was fresh baked to all the trolls who commented anything on me. At that time, I was very naïve and vulnerable so I took it all very seriously. That was my biggest mistake. It got so much into my head that I went into depression and I self-harmed. It was a very hard and dark phase.”
“Fortunately, I had my family and friends to pull me out of that darkness. That was a really large lesson I learnt from there. Now, I want to be able to help all the others out there who are struggling. I want to tell them that there is light at the end of the tunnel because I have been through that as well,” she added.
Shannon K is Kumar Sanu's adoptive daughter with Saloni Bhattacharya. They also have a child named Ana.
Shannon started her career as a singer with the pop single A Long Time in 2018. She later debuted as an actor in the Hollywood movie The Big Feed, which released in 2020. Currently, she is gearing up for her Bollywood debut with Vivek Sharma's film Chal Zindagi.
