'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' fame Aakanksha Singh says people usually think actors fake mental health issues for publicity

Actress Aakanksha Singh, who made her Bollywood debut with 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' is now gearing up for her next Bollywood film, 'Mayday', where she is playing the role of Ajay Devgn’s wife. In a recent interview, the actress opened up about mental health and how people judge when someone opens up about their mental illness. Aakanksha said, 'People are now more open to talking about their mental health issues. Earlier, they were conscious but now it is getting easier to talk about difficulties, depression and anxiety. What friends and family can do is be sensitive about it and listen, give people experiencing anxiety or depression help and even encourage them to get proper treatment, if needed. People in our industry often get targeted because people usually think that we are faking it for publicity. But we should rather be sensitive about it and shouldn’t just jump to the conclusion that it is a publicity stunt. We should listen to people because it is a difficult thing to live with.' With a busy acting career across industries, she admits it does take some doing to stay positive every day and said, 'When I feel low, I think about things in my life that I am grateful for and my work which I love. Talking to family also helps, especially my husband, Kunal Sain. He is the strength which keeps me going. I listen to music and also meditate, which works wonders.'
