LAHORE- It’s easy to mistake celebrities as having it all. They’re talented, attractive, wealthy, and widely acclaimed. But neither fame nor fortune immunizes celebrities against the ravages of the depression and anxiety.
From Bollywood’s Deepika Padukone to Hareem Farooq and Momina Mustehsan, many celebs have come forward with their struggle with depression and the stigma surrounding the topic has reduced.
Recently, actor Mawra Hocane revealed that she is battling with social anxiety and is finding ways to cope with it. She also shed light on her struggles with the condition while responding to a fan on social media.
The actor took to her Instagram account on Thursday as she posted a video of her morning cardio, with the caption, “And then I ran so fast my phone fell off.”

One of her followers questioned whether she suffers from social anxiety and Mawra’s response surprised everyone.
“Yes. I developed anxiety recently and I’ve been battling with it one day at a time. For everyone who is reading it and has suffered anxiety we are all in this together,” replied the JPNA 2 starlet.
The Hocane sisters drew immense criticism earlier for their advice on mental health on a local TV show. The TV stars were seen relating to eating junk with depression, stating how it was one of the root cause of depression.
Urwa Hocane was bashed for being insensitive about the issue and trivialising such an important issue. The severe criticism that came her way, prompted the actress to take to her social media and open up about her struggles with depression, stating how she was misunderstood despite having good intentions.
“I decided to never announce it but I have suffered depression for a couple of years, the process of recovery is perpetual therefore I would NEVER ever be insensitive to its existence & causes. I find it hard to say more than this because of the extensive scrutiny on every word I’ll now utter but I will be brave.”
