People who follow Esha Gupta on social media would agree that she consciously tries to spread positivity through her posts. “You never know what a person is going through by just looking at them from outside. I think depression is often looked down upon, we need to take it seriously. Instead of attaching stigmas to it, help those who are facing it,” she says.

Recalling a recent incident which gave her a whole different perspective on the subject of mental health, she says, “A very close friend was upset and told me, ‘Esha, I am sick of people telling me not to be negative, stay positive’. That day I realized where he is coming from. So I told him, ‘I am sorry, wanted you to know that I am there for you whenever you want to talk’,” shares the actor.
