Overview

• In a Hindustan Times interview published today, Sara Ali Khan says therapy and mental health support are not signs of weakness but tools for self-awareness and growth.
• She recounts feeling “really overwhelmed” in the past and says small acts like spending time with her mother or watching something light helped her reset.
• She encourages people to ask for help or slow down when needed, citing breathing, movement, crying, or guilt-free rest as practical practices.
• Highlighting persistent stigma, she cites ITC Fiama’s Feel Good With Fiama survey that claims 55% in India view therapy as for the weak, noting she endorses the brand.
• Times Now amplified the interview and published helpline numbers for Aasra, Snehi, and Fortis MentalHealth as a public-service resource.
