She reportedly has now admitted Sidharth Sagar to a rehab. 

His mother told TOI, "Not many are aware that he was undergoing treatment for bipolar and he used to have hallucinations. I tried to balance his life and got him till here. I had always told him that the more popular you get, the more enemies you will make in the industry. I had always taught him to lead a balanced life and not to run behind money. For me peace is the most important thing and I had told him that. We can feed you your entire life but don’t want to see you again in a bad state. I will fight for my son till my last breath and not let anyone come in between. If it would not have been urgent I would have never travelled to Delhi. I am not sure if it is because of drugs or because he had stopped his treatment for bipolar. That I will only get to know him when I speak to him when I come back to Mumbai."
