Rarely do you see celebrities or star kids openly talk about issues they are facing in life. Deepika Padukone championed a campaign on mental health awareness, and Alia Bhatt’s sister Shaheen Bhatt also opened up about her tryst with depression two years ago.
Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan’s elder daughter wrote a post on social media, talking about what she went through — what the root cause of her depression was and how she dealt with it. Now, mommy Soni confirms that Shaheen has started writing a book on the subject.
Soni tells us, “Shaheen is penning down her experiences in a book and she is doing it to help other people understand that there’s nothing wrong in accepting your condition. Shaheen is a strong, creative girl. It’s brave of her to talk about it on a platform like this. She is a great writer and when she told us about her decision to write the book, we were happy.”
Shaheen will release the book a few months from now. Her mother adds, “All of us, including (Mahesh) Bhatt saab, Alia and I, stand by her.”
