Speaking about her mother's illness, Trishala said, "My mother passed away in 1996 when I was 8.

She further revealed that she turned to food for comfort during her mother's illness, leading to body-image struggles and constant comparisons over how a celebrity's daughter was "supposed" to look. Now a therapist herself, she added that her own struggles inspired her to help others feel less alone....
