Actress Isha Koppikar is using her platform to speak candidly about mental health in the film industry. Known for her roles in Don and Shabri, she shared how fame brings pressure to always appear cheerful – even when struggling inside.
“It’s okay to say ‘I’m not okay,’” she said, urging industry peers to normalise emotional vulnerability. Isha now champions open conversations about self-worth, resilience, and the hidden toll of maintaining public personas in an often-demanding profession.
Offering a powerful reminder to those who are quietly battling their own struggles, Isha emphasises that individuals are enough just as they are.
“You – just as you are – are enough. It’s a simple truth that many of us forget, especially in a world where everything is filtered and curated to suit appearances. True strength isn’t about having it all together, but about being real, being kind to yourself.”
