Mandira Bedi recently opened-up about her emotional response to the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad revealing that she turned to professional counseling to navigate the lingering sadness. In a heartfelt video shared on Instagram, she urged people not to hesitate in seeking help when overwhelmed by anxiety or emotional distress. Reflecting on her own experience, Mandira said, “There’s been this constant weight on my chest ever since the Ahmedabad plane crash. A kind of sadness that won’t leave. It’s not loud, but it’s there in the background of everything. My work, my time with my kids. So, I decided to talk to someone. A counsellor, just to make sense of it all and not hold it all alone. If you’re feeling the same way, anxious, low, off balance, please know this, you’re not alone. It’s okay to feel what you’re feeling. It’s more than okay to ask for help.” In her caption, she emphasized the importance of addressing emotions instead of carrying them silently, writing, “Some feelings don’t go away on their own. Sometimes, we need to talk it out… to lighten what we’ve been carrying silently. That’s what I’m doing. If you’re feeling heavy too, I see you.” With her candid words, Mandira Bedi shines a light on the necessity of emotional well-being, encouraging open conversations about mental health and the power of seeking support.
