Jayashree, in July 2020, shared a note on Facebook that read, "I quit. Goodbye to this f*****g world and depression." Soon, she deleted the post and wrote, "I'm alright and safe!! Love you all." According to reports, Kannada actor Sudeep reached out to her for help. In a Facebook live, Jayashree reportedly said, "I am not doing all of these things for publicity’s sake. I am not expecting financial help from Sudeep sir. I am only expecting my death as I am unable to battle depression. I am financially strong but I am depressed"

Deleting the video, Jayashree wrote, "Thanks a lot Sudeep sir for your care and you saved me along with your team members and my loving friends and fans. Love you all! Sorry for making you guys panic. I am back to form."
