Iqbal Khan, Gulki Joshi and Srishty Singh on the occasion of World Health Day; say "Taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body”

Yaadein which premiered on 6th April brings forth a layered and emotional narrative that goes beyond a medical drama. Adapted from the popular Italian series DOC, the show traces the journey of Dr. Dev Mehta (Iqbal Khan), alongside his ex-wife Srishti (Gulki Joshi) and resident doctor Vaani (Srishty Singh), each navigating their own emotional battles while dealing with the demands of their profession and personal lives.

On World Health Day, the cast shares what it really means to live a healthy life, physically, mentally, and emotionally. In today’s fast-paced life, it’s easy to forget how closely our body, mind, and emotions are connected. Yaadein brings this idea to life, reminding us that true wellbeing is about taking care of every part of ourselves. Through its characters, the show shows that when we look after our overall health, we are better prepared to handle life’s challenges and enjoy its happy moments.

Speaking about this, Iqbal Khan shared, “Playing Dr. Dev made me reflect on how unpredictable life can be and how sometimes, you are forced to rebuild everything you once knew. But beyond the character, it also made me think about how we treat our bodies and minds during those uncertain moments. We often push through without pausing to check in with ourselves, physically or otherwise. I have come to realise that rest is not laziness, movement is not just fitness, and taking care of your body is often the first step towards feeling more like yourself again. This World Health Day, I truly feel that looking after yourself, in every sense, is one of the most important things we can do.”

Speaking about this, Gulki Joshi shared, “I think we have all had moments where we have felt stretched thin and still carried on because life does not pause. Over time, I have understood that constantly pushing yourself without acknowledging what your body and heart are telling you can quietly wear you down. It is important to create a space for yourself and to pause, to eat well, to move, to laugh, and not be too hard on yourself when things feel heavy. Well-being is not just about staying positive all the time. It is also about listening to yourself honestly and understanding that every part of you deserves care.”

Speaking about this, Srishti Singh shared, “I have learnt that how you treat yourself on an ordinary day matters just as much as how you cope on a difficult one. Whether it is getting enough sleep, staying connected with people who ground you, or simply allowing yourself a moment of stillness in the middle of a busy day, these things add up. This World Health Day, I hope people remind themselves that taking care of themselves is not selfish. It is necessary, and it is something each one of us deserves.”
