The vocalist stated that she isn't discussing it properly and is 'not processing it because I'm working so hard,' in order to cope with the diagnosis. She shared the news with others as she wanted to be transparent.
'I know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book,' the London-born crooner said. 'It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse. That's the bit that kills me.'
Stressing that this 'wasn't something' she planned, Jeessie J called the whole topic and situation 'weird'.

All jokes aside (You know it's one of the ways I get through hard times) This last 2 months have been so amazing, and having this go on along side it on the sideline's has given me the most incredible perspective. BUT… Your girl needs a hug.'

Watch: NRIs recreate Ganga Aarti on Canadian riverbank, stir mixed reactions online
In a heartfelt tribute to Indian traditions, members of the Indian diaspora in Canada recently organised a grand Ganga Aarti along the banks of the Credit River in Mississauga. The event, reminiscent of the iconic rituals held in Varanasi, Rishikesh and Haridwar, brought together scores of devotees dressed in traditional attire. The ceremony was hosted by Radio Dhishum and attended by Consul Sanjeev Saklani from the Indian Consulate in Toronto. The consulate shared glimpses of the event on X, calling it a 'soulful evening of divine chants and pious mantras.' 'Consul Sanjeev Saklani represented the Consulate at the Ganga Aarti… organised by Team @RadioDhishum,' the post read, along with several pictures capturing the spiritual fervour of the evening. One of the attendees, Instagram user Priyanka Gupta, shared a video that has now gone viral. 'In all my 10 years in Canada, this was the most magical evening,' she wrote. 'Not on the ghats of Varanasi or Haridwar, but right here in Canada.' 'Living abroad doesn't mean letting go of who we are. The soulful chants of 'Har Har Gange' echoed across the park,' she added, describing the experience as a moving slice of India brought to life far from home. However, the video sparked mixed reactions online. While many praised the community for keeping Indian traditions alive abroad, some questioned whether such rituals could affect the local environment, with concerns raised about potential pollution of the Credit River. 'Happy to see, India and Canada culturally getting connected,' a user commented. 'What a beautiful coverage. We are so overwhelmed hearing this,' another user wrote. However, several users had a different opinion on the video, 'This is a tad bit too much , where is ganga and where is Canada ? We should be religious but at the same time, think where you are, respect their land and country, doing these things there only shows how fragile and religion dependent we Indians are.' 'Aren't you supposed to have Ganga arti on banks of river 'Ganga'? Don't just make fun of anything, looses the value it holds,' another user wrote. 'There is a reason it is called Ganga Aarti. Doing aarti in front of any river doesn't make it Ganga Aarti. If you crave for it so much, return to your own country and do it,' the third user commented.

BTS' Jimin said he felt ‘suffocated' listening to RM's track, knew something was wrong: ‘I wonder what kind of jerks he's met'
Ever since BTS' leader RM, aka Kim Namjoon, returned from the military, there has been a lot of talk about his struggle, and how the 18 months inside the unit may not have been as smooth as fans assumed. RM earlier admitted to breaking down at night and even seeking medical help. It takes us back to a year ago, when the rapper was gearing up for his second solo album, Right People, Wrong Place and had invited Jimin over to his place for a first listen of the pre-recorded tracks. That's when the Filter looked concerned, almost instinctively sensing the pressure RM had been carrying, the weight of being a leader. As he listened to the lyrics, Jimin paused, wondering who RM was really referring to. 'What kind of jerk made him write something this fierce?' he thought. Also read: After Ronaldo and Messi, this BTS star becomes Instagram's most influential celebrity, beats Selena Gomez, Billie Eilish, and more Before enlistment, every BTS member kicked off their solo career. During one of their conversations, RM revealed he was actually supposed to enlist with Hobi but held it off after the Balming Tiger directors approached him with the idea to collaborate on a new record. 'Namjoon's albums are always kind of like a diary,' Jimin said. RM then explained the theme of his project, saying, 'I think everyone goes through this at some point, whether you're part of an organisation, society, or just an industry.' That's when he started questioning himself, Am I the only one who feels like a stranger here, even when everything seems to be going fine? He added, 'I'm the right person, but maybe I'm just in the wrong place.' Later, in front of the camera, Jimin admitted, 'I don't know if I should say this, but when I heard the album, it felt like reading a diary. I had so much going on in my head, it felt a little suffocating.' He paused, then added, 'He poured everything into that album. And I knew, I just knew, he was having a really hard time.' Also read: BTS' Suga warns 'the market's not the same' as group confirms 2026 comeback and tour RM has never shied away from calling out the scrutiny BTS constantly faces and the unrealistic pedestal K-pop idols are expected to stand on, something he's always been vocal about. The Indigo hitmaker opened up about the time BTS was going through a really rough patch, especially when the whole military enlistment exemption debate blew up in the country. He recalled being in public spaces, like a bar, and overhearing people talk about them without realising he was right there. 'Is it really right for them to do that?' he remembered people whispering. 'We heard that so many times. And around the same time, a lot was happening to me personally, I had so much in my head. I didn't know what to do, so I just poured it all out and left a record,' he said, referring to his album before enlistment. Namjoon may have said those words a year ago, but fans still believe he's carrying the weight, especially now with the pressure of rebranding the group once they return. On the work front, BTS announced a spring comeback last year. The members are currently in the U.S., reportedly filming for new music.
