The environment around us is a big factor which determines out overall mood. The pandemic and the chaos caused by it has taken a toll on mental health of a lot of individuals. Actress Shilpa Shetty, who is known for her happy and inspiring persona, recently opened up about the issue and how it has affected her mental state. In a video she shared, Shilpa said, "I usually share information to motivate you to stay fit and healthy but today even I need Monday motivation and a lot of it because I am not okay. And I can't be, none of us are. We are experiencing this inexplicable pain, from all that is happening around us, and we are all expressing it very differently."

She explained that how Covid isn't the only threat looming on us at the moment. She said, "We are not just losing people to Covid, but we are also losing people to hunger, to the lack of oxygen, to the lack of timely medical care."

She further stated, "I would also like to make an appeal to join forces and channelise all our energies towards helping those who need us at this point. While I have my own charitable trust, I am honest, ashamed but brave enough to say that there are people who have much more gumption and bigger hearts than me, who are personally doing the job of feeding these people who need their help. Yes, it did make me feel very small but my thought was 'what can I do?' So the least we can do in these times is play a catalyst."
