Recently, the actress was invited as the chief guest for the launch of the ‘Psychiatry at your doorstep’ initiative by Roshni Trust and Datla Foundation, and the actress took the centre stage to discuss her journey with mental well-being. She said, “There should be no inhibitions about seeking help when you are mentally disturbed. In my case, I was able to overcome my mental health issues only with the help of my counsellors and friends. Like how we go to a doctor for physical injuries we also should consult doctors if our heart gets hurt. If I am successful for the next part of my life, it is not because I was strong. But it is because many people around me helped me to be strong. A lot of people are spending a lot of time and effort to help. It’s time for all of us to do our bit as well.”

Furthermore, she added, “It is very difficult to speak out about one’s problems during the depression. No one’s life is perfect, I know this pretty well. Since I am on social media, I have been through this personally, now I am strong.”
