In an interview with Mashable India, the actor said that if he had ever expressed being depressed, his father would have struck him. Siddiqui, who comes from a rural background, remarked, “I come from a place where if I tell my father that I am depressed, he will give me one tight slap.” Depression did not exist; no one becomes depressed in communities, and everyone is cheerful.” He became aware of terminology like anxiety, sadness, and bipolar disorder after relocating to the city. According to Siddiqui, the experience of despair is interpreted differently in cities, where people “glorify” even the most little emotions. He stated his perspective, “This is an urban concept, people in cities glorify their emotions.”
The actor’s comments drew emphasis on the disparities that exist between urban and rural areas. While cities generally provide a more accessible understanding and acceptance of mental health disorders, Siddiqui argues that villages preserve a culture in which happiness reigns supreme and notions such as depression are uncommon.
It is important to note, however, that depression is a frequent mental health issue worldwide. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), depression affects more than 264 million people of all ages worldwide. It is more than simply a passing grief; it can have a substantial impact on a person’s everyday life, relationships, and general well-being.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
