Mumbai: On Thursday, World Mental Health Day, TV actresses Smita Sable and Shubhangi Atre spoke up on the importance of mental health in the fast-moving world.
The two shared their opinions about how they care for their mental health.
Smita, who plays Dhaniya in the television show Bheema, shared that saying ‘No’ is of prime importance and is a doorway to a mentally healthy life.
She said, “In today’s fast-paced environment, caring for mental health is essential. I practise morning meditation and deep breathing exercises to calm my mind. Nature walks and journaling help me process my emotions and gain clarity. Setting boundaries and learning to say ‘no’ has been liberating”.
She further mentioned, “I also make time for activities that bring me joy, such as painting and reading. Acknowledging my limits and embracing vulnerability have empowered me. In a world that values speed, I choose to pause, breathe, and nurture my mental well-being.”
Shubhangi Atre, known for her role as Angoori Bhabhi in the superhit television show Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shared that spending time with family brings her a lot of peace and helps her unwind.
She said, “I practise meditation to stay centred, especially during stressful times. Spending quality time with my family, away from the spotlight, helps me recharge. Actors face immense pressure to deliver flawless performances both on screen and in front of live audiences. I’ve learned to channel that pressure into positive energy by focusing on preparation and being present in the moment. Over time, I’ve realised that making mistakes is part of the journey. What truly matters is staying true to myself and my craft.”
