I think the movie was challenging only in terms of the craft, not in terms of emotion.

Picking up an issue like mental health, and making a movie out of it, keeping in mind the sentiments of an Indian household (to be precise), how challenging was it? And in fact, at the start of this when you said that, that's my answer to you that when someone like you says that the thing strikes a chord, it makes me feel so glad I made the film, even if it's 10 people who tell me, I just feel it is worth it. I just feel we need to be much more open about this Not so much about the scientific angle of it, but a girl's story, what she goes through what she feels and then how she decides to take her life in our own hands and moulded…which is what is beautiful.that you take it on, you can do that with your own life. Mental health is a much bigger word, and a category to talk about and this was a small way in doing that. Issues like depression and anxiety have become so prevalent due to work pressure, that more often than not, youngsters find it difficult to pave themselves and find their inner calling, with the fear of uncertainty. For a country like India, mental health has been a vulnerable topic of discussion amongst today’s youth - something which is often swept under the carpets and is considered as ‘taboo’. The movie focused on the circumstances and the daily struggles, today’s youth goes through, but is unable to process and be vocal about their feelings. While the film went on to receive all the love and appreciation, it was Gauri Shinde’s craft of storytelling, picking up a topic like mental health, and most importantly normalising therapy, which instantly struck a chord among the audience. She reaches out to Dr Jug ( Shah Rukh Khan) who gives her a new perspective towards life.

Being a part of a movie like ‘ Dear Zindagi’, Kaira allowed us to enter into her life as she embraced her journey to find self-love and acceptance with the help of therapy. It’s been 4 years since we first met this young girl named Kaira ( Alia Bhatt) - someone who’s heart and mind are at a constant war to make decisions concerning her relationships.
