Actor Zayed Khan rose to fame with the 2005 film Main Hoon Na with Shah Rukh Khan. He has also contributed to Indian cinema with films such as Shabd, Dus, Yuvvraaj, Blue, Anjaana Anjaani, and more. Reflecting on his career, Zayed acknowledged that it's the nature of the industry that there are highs and lows in your career.
Talking about mental health and how he dealt with it during the dark phases of his life. "I don't know about the dark days of my life, but there were amazing days that took a toll on you. Life has many avenues to explore, and sometimes it does happen that you enter this phase, the dark side is equally seductive, sometimes it sucks you in, and a lot of things are awoken inside of you that you didn't realise.
When you come back to life, you realise that's a choice; it's not reality," he told Subhojit Ghosh on his show, The Sunny G Show. A post shared by ZAYED KHAN (@itszayedkhan) Zayed also expressed that in church you have a confession box, so if anything one wishes to confess, one can talk to the third person and not your friend or family. "Now that place has been taken up by a psychiatrist, so you tell them everything," he added.
"The most important thing in our society is while we celebrate beautiful things, we fail to understand basic mental health issues happening because we don't want to acknowledge it or talk about it. Log khete hai, it's not good to talk about it, kaun hai ye log pata nahi. Because of this, Bahut saari cheeze hai jo ek min mai solve ho sakthi hai, but disease ban jati hai logo ke dimag mai because you never talked about it," Zayed concluded.
