With the bounce of unfortunate events happening in 2020, it has become the worst year in the history. The entire globe is battling the coronavirus pandemic and on the other side, it’s not less than a nightmare for our very own Bollywood industry, as many performers have taken suicidal steps. Despair, mourning, dissuasion, cynicism and sorrow are the identical words used to define “Depression”.

In fact, the word, “Depression” is more like a fashion statement and used very commonly even by school going kids for whom depression is, parents not letting them watch cartoons. It really boggles my mind when I see how this word has been universally accepted as a serious mental condition. People often use words like stress, anxiety, tension, mood swing to define their state of mind.

We generally relate fame, name and money with mental peace and happiness. It is very unlikely to even imagine that a wealthy person can be depressed. Our usual thoughts will be “itna paisa hoke bhi depressed hai”, which is actually a farce. It is a kind of a grave mental order which has taken a toll over zillions of lives and a major reason behind many people committing suicide. Last several months due to the Covid 19 lockdown, the shootings of the movies came to a standstill, people were without work, big releases were postponed for an indefinite period.
