Talking about mental health very important: Sushmita Sen

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Depression is a reality, says Sushmita Sen, adding that the tragic passing of actor Sushant Singh Rajput nudged her to start a conversation around the importance of talking about mental health — something she was intending to do for long.

Sushant was found hanging in his Bandra residence on Sunday morning by his domestic help, which left Bollywood and his fans shocked. He was reportedly battling depression over the past few months and undergoing treatment.

Sushmita feels “what Sushant and so many other young people are trying to tell us is that we have to take responsibility for our own things before we start blaming other people”.
