Recently, actress Tunisha Sharma killed herself by hanging herself. Sheezan Mohammed Khan, her co-star and rumoured boyfriend, had a makeup room where she was discovered hanging from a ceiling fan. She was 20. The unexpected nature of her death shocked the nation. Additionally, it emphasised the necessity of raising awareness of mental health once more. For those who are unaware, Tunisha spoke candidly to a news source about her battle with depression last year.
In an effort to spread awareness, some actors have previously discussed their struggles with mental health difficulties. Several other celebrities, like Deepika Padukone, Manisha Koirala, Ileana D'Cruz, and Aamir Khan's daughter Ira, have been outspoken about their battles with depression.
In order to raise awareness, the Bollywood actress who is renowned for speaking out about her mental health problems launched the Live Love Laugh foundation. In addition to doing her part to assist individuals who are depressed, DP is also candid about the difficulties she encountered and how she overcame them.
She spoke with Meghan Markle recently about how others had previously viewed her mental health difficulties. Deepika declared, "The majority of India experienced this as the removal of a tremendous load. Finally, someone admitted that yes, there is such a thing as mental illness, but despite all your efforts, there will always be some disbelief."
Anushka had freely discussed her experience with anxiousness as well as how she had witnessed family members battle depression. "I am anxious. And I'm taking anxiety medication. I use medicine to treat my anxiousness. How come I'm saying this? Because it's a very normal occurrence. It has a biological component. There have been depressive episodes in my family. More people should discuss it in public, "added the actress.
The Bollywood star Aamir Khan's daughter established a mental health charity and frequently uses her social media accounts to raise awareness of the issue. She stated that she had been chronically depressed for more than four years in one of her videos. She had written a note earlier this year after having anxiety attacks.
Ileana has been quite outspoken about having body dysmorphia. The actress had previously admitted that she had depression early in her career. She had made a suicidal suggestion by saying, "About three years ago, there was a time when I'd go from being pleased to being absolutely unhappy and unsure of what was wrong. What if I just end things now? was the most consoling thought. I was relieved to see that this was wrong."
In 2020, the Baahubali actor published a frank letter of despair. "Everyone is imperfect; there is no right or wrong; we are not given a road map for life when we are born; each of us can only respond to a circumstance in the best way we know how. Nobody ever has, and each of us, no matter how great or small, is weak in some manner. Each of us breaks inside, and that's okay. Some of us cry out for help, some cry in silence, some distract, some indulge, each in their own way, and some of us are helpless. Let's all please learn to support one another in our own small ways, in our own beautiful broken ways.”
