Megha Sharma: It's great that we are talking about mental health today

Mumbai, October 12, 2024 (UTN). It’s finally time to brush off taboos about battles with depression and anxiety, and reach out for help, says actress Megha Sharma. Megha, who has been part of shows like Pandya Stores, Baal Krishna and Mahakali—Anth Hi Aarambh Hai, says that mental health should be discussed and help should be given to those who need it.   “Mental health is definitely an important topic today. Many people struggle with it, and it's great that we're talking about it more. I don’t think we’re exaggerating; instead, we’re finally acknowledging issues that have been hidden for too long. It's important to support each other and create a safe space for discussions about mental health,” she says.   Ask her how she takes care of her mental health, and she says, “To take care of my mental health, I make sure to spend time with myself, take myself on a solo date . I have a word with self because I believe self talk is very important. Talking and sharing moments with family and friends helps me feel better. I also enjoy activities like yoga and meditation, which help calm my mind and keep me centred.”   She adds, “The two things I do to boost my mood are I enjoy listening to my favourite songs. Music has a magical way of changing my mood and giving me energy when I need it. And taking myself on a solo date is something that just cheers me up. It’s very important to enjoy your own company before you start to spend time with someone else.”   However, she loves spending time with her loved ones too. “I would say I’m more of an ambivalent person . I love sharing my life with people I vibe with, whom I am comfortable with and enjoy their company. Being around such people  gives me energy and makes me happy. I believe that sharing experiences strengthens our bonds.”   The pace of life is very fast and we are over indulging and multitasking most of the time. This can impact our mental health, she says, adding, “Life is indeed very fast-paced, and we often try to do too many things at once. This can lead to feeling overwhelmed and less focused. It’s important to slow down and prioritize what truly matters. Taking small breaks can help us regain our focus and clarity.”   Mumbai-Reporter,(Hitesh Jain).

World Mental Health Day: Mental health deserves our attention, says actress Monika Singh

Mumbai, October 12, 2024 (UTN). On the occasion of World Mental Health Day on October 10, actress Monika Singh, says that she is happy that mental health related problems are being talked about. She adds that we must continue to support one another and offer help when needed. “I’m really glad that people have finally started talking about mental health. It’s a big topic these days, and it truly deserves all the attention. Mental health is a real issue that needs to be discussed openly, and we should support each other without making it seem bigger or smaller than it actually is.   I’m saying all of this because I know how it feels. I understand how difficult it can be to overcome these challenges because I’ve gone through a similar phase in my life,” she says. Ask her how she takes care of her mental health, and she says, “To take care of my mental health, I focus on things like meditation, exercise, yoga, and other outdoor activities. I’m more of an introvert, so while I enjoy spending time with my friends, I also need some alone time to recharge. It's not always necessary to be around people—sometimes, being surrounded by too many can trigger a weird sort of anxiety. So, I like to be by myself at times. ”She adds that you need to keep up with the times nowadays. “   In this fast-paced life, there’s no room to stop or make excuses, whether you’re unwell, dealing with mental health issues, or facing other problems. Opportunities come and go, but if your mental health isn’t in a good place, it’s hard to do anything about your life. That’s why it’s so important to take care of yourself first,” she says. Talking about how to take care of your mental health, she says, “Two things I find really helpful for mental health are practicing gratitude and doing things that bring me happiness. Be thankful for everything in your life, no matter how small it seems. Do what makes you happy and relaxed, whether it’s playing games, listening to music, dancing, or anything else that you enjoy. Simple things like these can help improve your mood and energy levels.”   Mumbai-Reporter,(Hitesh Jain).

Somy Ali Shares Her Love for Rekha on the Iconic Actress’ Birthday

Mumbai, October 12, 2024 (UTN). On the occasion of Rekha’s birthday on October 10, Somy Ali expressed her admiration for the legendary actress, calling her the “epitome of beauty and grace.” Rekha, often hailed as ageless, has transformed herself through the various stages of her illustrious career, making her a timeless figure in Indian cinema. When asked about Rekha’s ability to constantly reinvent herself, Somy Ali said.   "There is no one more beautiful than Rekhaji in the entire universe for me.  She’s a complete package – grace, features, dance, height, her saris, her humility. I mean, she’s a Goddess in every sense."Recalling a personal memory that was a “double treat” for her, Somy shared, “I got to meet Rekhaji on the sets of Agar Tum Na Hote. Watching her and Kakaji (Rajesh Khanna) pretend to play the piano to the song Agar Tum Na Hote was magical.”    She considers Rekha and Rajesh Khanna her favorite on-screen couple.Somy Ali’s admiration for Rekha goes beyond her beauty. "My favorite film has to be Umrao Jaan," she revealed. "The last shot of her standing alone and looking at herself in the mirror speaks volumes about her personal life. It symbolizes how the most beautiful women often never find true love. That one look in the mirror says it all – it’s the irony of being lonely on top, despite everything."   Somy added that Umrao Jaan resonates with her deeply, having watched it over 100 times throughout her life. She finds parallels between Rekha and Marilyn Monroe, both epitomizing beauty but enduring a life filled with false promises.For Somy, Rekha is not only a queen of beauty but a beacon of strength and intellect. “She shines more than anyone can imagine, no matter what might be going on inside her heart. She has a love for life, and that makes her my princess for life.”   Mumbai-Reporter,(Hitesh Jain).

Comedy may seem easy, but it’s not. Comedy is very serious business

Mumbai, October 12, 2024 (UTN). Geetanjali Mishra, who is well-known for playing intense negative roles in shows like Crime Patrol and Savdhaan India, has successfully made the switch to comedy with her role as Rajjo in Sanjay and Binaiferr Kohli’s show Happu Ki Ultan Paltan. In a recent interview, she talked about her experience moving from serious characters to comic ones. When asked about how playing Rajjo has affected her, Geetanjali admitted that this was a very different opportunity for her.    She said, “I have been in the industry for about 12-15 years now, and I’ve played various characters, but this is my first chance to do comedy." Geetanjali also pointed out that making people laugh isn’t as easy as it looks. “Comedy may seem easy, but it’s not. Comedy is very serious work, and to do it well, you have to push yourself a lot and work hard internally,” she explained. She added that it takes a lot of effort and preparation to control emotions while delivering a comedic performance.   One thing that has helped Geetanjali settle into her comedic role is the support of her co-stars on the set of Happu Ki Ultan Paltan.  Although she took over the role of Rajjo from Kamna Pathak, who set a high standard, Geetanjali was able to bring her own style to the character. This has made her portrayal stand out, even though she felt some pressure stepping into the role. She shared how she added her own variation to make the character unique. Before gaining recognition as Rajjo, Geetanjali was known for her strong roles in crime dramas. In the interview, she also touched on the ongoing challenges women face in society, expressing her frustration that things haven’t changed much.   Mumbai-Reporter,(Hitesh Jain).
