Bollywood Diva Ananya Panday Talks About Mental Health
Numerous celebrities have endured trolling and abuse, with some developing resilience and overcoming the negativity, while others have been seriously impacted. Ananya is one such actress who has been seriously affected by trolls. Ananya who has been labeled a product of nepotism and a talentless star kid by online trolls recently shared that she sought therapy to overcome the negativity.
Ananya said “I have done therapy in the past, I am not as regular now. I could not articulate my emotions. I used to just feel very, very down. The thing, I sometimes feel with mental health and social media, is that you may read something in the moment and you may not realise that is affecting you, because you think I’m fine right now, I am having a good day, I am in the car, I am busy. I will read a comment and I will ignore it. But weeks later, it could still be there in your subconscious somewhere and things that like really pile up. With therapy, I was just able to consolidate my feelings and articulate my thoughts a little better.”

Ananya has also recalled her school days. She said “When I was in school, social media had just started. I was called all sorts of things, like hunchback, flat screen, chicken legs…That was in school, we were in our bubble. Now, because of social media, the smallest voice can be amplified. It did affect my self-confidence, it still does today. Self-love is a journey, not the destination”.
Many celebs have talked about the importance of mental health in the past. Some of the actors are Deepika Padukone, Honey Singh, Shraddha Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Alia Bhatt etc.
Ananya celebrated her Birthday on 30th Oct and shared lovely pictures with family and friends from the celebrations.
