They say Bollywood is a glamorous world where people can get lost, as it isn’t always what it seems onscreen. Today, we’re going to talk about a director's daughter and a superstar's sister who struggled with depression at the age of 12. We’re talking about Shaheen Bhatt, the daughter of well-known director Mahesh Bhatt and Alia Bhatt's sister.
During a panel discussion, Shaheen spoke about mental health issues and said, "I never planned to talk about my mental health, but one day I was lying in bed trying to find a picture to post on social media. I realized I was only looking for happy pictures, which was the opposite of how I actually felt. This made me understand that I wanted to share my true feelings with the world.

Everytime i felt short of that felt really bad, it felt horrible. I felt really lucky for the fact that I have such supportive parents who have always told me to just do my best and that any outcome that comes is okay with them, not only this they have never pressured me .
