Actress and dancer Lauren Gottlieb expressed why she left Mumbai and returned to the US at the height of her success. A number of factors led Lauren, who appeared in the 2013 film ABCD: Anybody Can Dance and the sixth season of the hit reality series Jhalak Dikhla Ja, to leave and take a vacation. In a recent chat, the actress claimed that she just kept spiraling and that she simply wasn't happy anymore despite her fame.

Lauren said, “I was growing in fame, but the more I was spiraling. I knew it was the biggest risk to let it all go, but I had so much faith in myself that I knew if I work on myself and feel mentally healthy again, I’ll come back.”

Lauren claimed that she was merely making a lot of effort to complete projects because she knew that returning from the US to India would make her miserable and that she would need to remind herself that she had a contract to complete. “The depression time was when I was in India. I was great on set, I knew that. I am the kind of person who wants to be a part of everything, if I was booked on a movie, they would call me back for a sequel. I was always so focused. But there were so many things on set that were out of my control. I had to let all of that go. I knew I needed to leave because I wanted an acting school and I needed therapy.”

She also cited the need to avoid making eye contact with paparazzi lest they approach and capture pictures of her as another reason why she now wears baseball caps even at airports. She emphasized that there was a myriad of reasons, not just one, that served as a trigger, which is why she felt the need to take a break. According to her, certain relationships were beginning to fall apart even though they were with the people who had helped her get to where she is now.
