This he shared as he got candid with his fans on Instagram where he revealed battling depression, which at the time barred him from engaging in his regular workout routine.

“Only a few of you may know this but the past 6 months have been some of the toughest I have ever had in a mental and emotional capacity. I have gone through all of it! Self-doubt, imposter syndrome, depression…you name it. I even took a 5-week break from working out (longest to date in 8 years),” Shiv wrote.
