She added, "I missed celebrating my 30th birthday and New Year's, the success of my film Sookshmadarshini, along with many other important moments. I also want to apologise to all my friends for not explaining why I went missing and for not picking up calls or responding to messages. I'm truly sorry for any worry or inconvenience I may have caused. I did shut down completely. I also want to extend my apologies to all my colleagues who have been trying to reach me for work."

"On a positive note, I'm thrilled to share that I received the Kerala Film Critics Award for Best Actor yesterday! Thank you so much for all the recognition and congrats to fellow nominees and winners. It's been a tough journey, but I want you to know that I'm working on healing and getting better every day. I appreciate your understanding and support during this time. I may need a bit more time to fully return, but I promise I'm on the path to recovery. I wrote this down today because I felt like I owe an explanation to all my family, friends and fans for disappearing like this. Love u all...and reconnect soon," Nazriya added.
