Diganjana Suryavanshi recently shared a black-and-white
video
in which she narrates a
poem
about
mental health
and performs an
interpretive piece
along with it.
The short video, taken in a single-shot, was filmed by her father with a team monitoring it online. The Hippi actress penned a long note to go along with it, in which she details on the importance of paying attention to mental health along with physical health during the pandemic.
She writes, “I strongly believe that mental health is the driving force behind all our decisions, actions and our happiness. Simple thoughts that make really big differences! This
lockdown
, COVID 19 situations around the world, conversations around it have been depressive and this word “Depression” has really been hitting my mind, and I’ve been thinking about it.” (sic)
Talking of why she chose to
perform
this piece, she writes, “Let me tell you the story behind this one-shot, one minute script and why I chose to perform in it...I know that none of us choose to feel depressed but it starts to happen, and my empathy is with everyone who’s fighting any battle in their head, it’s the hardest as nobody else ever gets to know what it really feels like!” (sic)
And adds, “I agree to all mental hassle and honestly, nobody should be guilty or ashamed of feeling any of this but I don’t agree that there is no solution to it and you will have to live with it or struggle with it all your life! I absolutely don’t agree with that and that’s exactly why I thought of making this short film, which accepts all these struggles and feelings with grace, dignity and vulnerability but powerfully says at the end that there’s a way out of it, only if you believe in yourself!” (sic) talking of how the video, despite all the pain showcased, ends on a positive note.
While a lot has been said and done about physical health during this pandemic, not much has been spoken about mental health and even
domestic abuse
that many put up with during the lockdown and isolation. However, the last few months have seen a rise in awareness about such topics, with even stars speaking up about the same.
Digangana Suryavanshi, who was last seen in Valayam will soon be seen in Seetimaarr, which also stars Gopichand and Tamananah in the lead roles.
