Mumbai, June 16 (NationPress) Actress Mandira Bedi has shared her struggles with the emotional burden she has been feeling since the tragic Air India plane crash.
In a heartfelt post on Instagram, the actress and fitness advocate revealed that she has been grappling with a profound, persistent sadness that prompted her to seek professional help. On Monday, the 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' star expressed the emotional impact of the recent Ahmedabad plane disaster.
In a video shared online, she discussed the heavy sadness she has been carrying following the tragedy, describing it as a subtle yet constant presence that has permeated her life—from her professional endeavors to her moments with her children.
Mandira stated in the video, "Since the Ahmedabad plane crash, there has been an unshakeable weight on my chest. This sadness lingers quietly but affects everything. My work and time with my children have not been the same. Therefore, I opted to consult a counselor to process these feelings rather than bear them alone. If you're experiencing similar emotions—anxiety, sadness, or imbalance—know that you are not isolated. It is perfectly normal to feel this way and to question why."
In her video caption, she noted, "Some emotions do not dissipate by themselves. Occasionally, we must vocalize our feelings to alleviate the burdens we carry silently. That is what I am doing. If you also feel overwhelmed... I understand you. #YouAreNotAlone #MentalHealthAwareness #ItHelpsToTalk #HealingInProgress."
The tragic aviation incident occurred on June 12 when a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff near Ahmedabad’s Meghani Nagar area, resulting in the loss of 241 lives out of the 242 individuals on board.
