Pakistani actress Mahira Khan discusses depression and anxiety triggered by the backlash following her first Bollywood film “Raees” in 2016.
Speaking on the FWhy Podcast, the 38-year-old actress said the backlash and demeaning comments she received “brought out the anxiety and depression hidden inside me.”
“That was a hard time for me. I felt attacked,” she said. “The constant backlash… You are getting mean tweets and comments on (the Indian) channels. That was a time my faith broke, and I developed severe anxiety to the point that one day, I had a panic attack and fainted. That was the first time I went to therapy. But that didn’t work out, as I went to several therapists… that year was rough… I couldn’t sleep; my hands used to shake.”
