Her video led to well-wishes from friends and family in the comments section.

Canadian comedian Howie Mandel wrote: “I’m here if you need anything.”

Film writer Kenya Barris said: “Dude!!! Soooo many prayers to you!!!!”

Indian Matchmaking personality Aparna Shewakramani said: “Sending healing.”

Influencer Liana V Benjamin wrote:

“Oh nooo! Praying for a quick recovery!”

Ovarian cysts are not uncommon as the Mayo Clinic states that “many women have ovarian cysts at some time” and “present little or no discomfort and are harmless”.

But large or ruptured cysts “can cause serious symptoms,” including pelvic pain, fullness or heaviness in the abdomen and bloating.

Lilly Singh has often shared her personal life, and has opened up about her struggles with depression.

In 2015, Lilly said depression was “nothing to be ashamed about” after she publicly discussed her own experience in a video.

She had said: “It was difficult to include it, but the reason I started making videos was because I was coming out of depression and I thought there’s probably so many other people out there that experience the exact same thing and no one talks about it.

“It’s nothing to be ashamed about.

“It’s a part of life – the ups and downs – and I really wanted people to start talking about it so I thought I’m going to lead by example. I’m going to openly talk about it.”
