Bollywood
star
Hrithik
Roshan
says
he
has
gone
through
a
lot
of
ups
and
downs
in
his
personal
life
and
been
through
depression,
but
it
is
something
which
should
not
be
stigmatised.
"I've
been
through
my
ups
and
downs.
I
have
experienced
depression,
I
have
experienced
confusion,
as
we
all
do.
It's
a
very
normal
thing.
We
should
be
very
casual
about
it
when
we
speak
about
it.
It
should
be
spoken
about
casually," he
told
PTI.
The
42-year-old
actor
was
speaking
at
the
launch
of
M
Power's
'Everyday
Heroes'
campaign
which
urges
people
to
accept
and
fight
with
mental
illnesses.
Hrithik
said
the
high
and
lows
that
he
has
experience
were
necessary
as
it
helped
him
evolve
as
a
person.
"I
have
experienced
issue
in
my
own
personal
life,
we
all
go
through
ups
and
downs.
The
ups
are
important,
the
downs
are
(also)
important
because
you
evolve
through
both
of
them.''

''When
you
go
through
a
down
then
the
most
important
thing
is
clarity
of
thought.
Sometimes
your
brain
takes
over,
feeds
you
with
unwanted
thoughts.
"That's
the
time
you
need
objectivity,
a
third
or
second
person
to
look
at
you
and
say
'this
is
what
is
happening
to
you'," he
said.
"This
is
something
which
was
on
my
mind
for
years.
I
always
questioned
this
stigma
(around
mental
illness).
I
have
seen
my
friends
suffer
in
silence
and
it
bothered
me
to
a
level
where
I
started
asking
questions
and
stumbled
upon
some
very
good
questions
in
that
search,'' he
said.
''About,
why
when
we
are
suffering
from
stomach
or
kidney
problem,
we
are
so
cool
and
casual
about
it.
Why
when
we
have
a
problem
with
brain,
which
is
also
an
organ,
we
get
scared
and
feel
as
if
it
is
our
fault
and
we
need
to
hide
it
from
people.
Everybody
at
some
point
of
life
is
going
to
go
through
some
mental
issue,"
he
added.
