Actor Darshan, who recently transferred from Parappana Agrahara Jail in Bengaluru to Ballari Jail, has been struggling with loneliness and depression. He has withdrawn into silence, refusing to speak even with the jail staff. To cope, he has turned to reading books.

Since he arrived at Ballari Jail on Thursday night, Darshan has not eaten properly. On his second day, Friday, he had a modest meal of Upma for breakfast, followed by ragi mudde, chapati, and rice sambar for lunch. The intense heat of Bellary and the persistent mosquitoes in the prison have reportedly made him feel uncomfortable and sleepy.
