Many
celebrities
in
the
recent
past
including
Shama
Sikander
have
opened
up
and
spoken
publicly
about
their
tryst
with
depression
in
order
to
spread
awareness
and
remove
the
stigma
attached
to
mental
health.
And
now,
as
the
entertainment
industry
is
grappling
with
a
rising
number
of
suicide
cases
and
deaths
during
the
COVID-19
lockdown,
the
Ye
Meri
Life
Hai
fame
actress
has
once
again
reiterated
the
importance
of
people
talking
more
openly
about
mental
health
issues
amid
the
pandemic.
Shama
recently
took
to
social
media
and
stated,
“You
can
fight
it,
I
fought
it.
I
had
to
fight
a
lot
of
conditioning,
too.
I
still
do.
It’s
something
not
easy
to
remove,
I
completely
understand
that.
I’m
surprised
to
see
the
society
wants
to
see
change
but
doesn’t
want
to
change.
When
I
post
some
video
on
domestic
violence,
many
women
praise
me
but
that’s
no
longer
enough.
Women
need
to
realize
that
they
should
not
let
it
happen
at
all.”
She
also
spoke
about
the
rise
in
domestic
violence
cases
amid
lockdown
by
adding,
“No
human
being
has
the
right
to
beat
another.
People
are
now
staying
at
home
and
a
lot
of
people
have
anger
issues
and
it’s
a
result
of
all
that.
Unfortunately,
this
is
a
deeply
engraved
problem.
It’s
because
of
generations
of
wrong
training.”
Meanwhile,
Shama
has
been
indoors
and
homebound
for
the
most
part,
these
past
few
months
due
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
However,
the
actress
is
happy
that
her
boyfriend,
an
American
businessman
-
James
Milliron,
who
otherwise
travels
all
around
the
world
as
his
work
demands,
has
been
with
her.
