Shubhangi Atre shares how meditation and Osho’s teachings help her maintain inner peace in a demanding industry.
Reflecting on World Mental Health Day, she emphasizes mindfulness, detachment from social pressures, and the power of honest conversations.
Shubhangi Atre, best known as Angoori Bhabhi in the popular show Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai, recently opened up about her personal approach to mental health, mindfulness, and staying centered in the fast-paced entertainment industry.
Reflecting on the significance of World Mental Health Day, which was observed earlier this month, Shubhangi shared, “For me, World Mental Health Day is a moment of awareness and reflection. It’s a reminder that mental health isn’t a luxury it’s a necessity. Taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your career or relationships. It’s about finding peace and acceptance within yourself.”
Speaking about how she maintains her well-being amidst professional demands, she said,
“Our industry can be very demanding emotionally and physically. I’ve realised that the only way to sustain yourself is by keeping your inner world calm. I make sure to disconnect from work once I’m home. Spending time with my daughter, doing yoga, or simply enjoying a quiet evening helps me recharge. I no longer carry my character or work stress into my personal life, and that change has made a huge difference.”
On breaking the stigma around mental health, she believes that open conversations are essential. She said, “When people from the entertainment world talk about their struggles, it sends a powerful message that it’s okay to not be okay sometimes. It breaks the illusion that celebrities are immune to emotional challenges.”
Closing on a hopeful note, she emphasised the power of vulnerability and truth. “If sharing your journey can inspire someone, it’s a beautiful thing. Honesty has power it connects us as human beings,” she said.
