A video of Meera’s mother went viral recently. She said her daughter had been admitted to a psychiatric facility in the US against her will and also appealed to the government of Pakistan to do something about the situation. Actor Imran Abbas also came forward to clarify that no such thing had happened and that he had personally spoken to the actor himself. In a conversation with a publication, Meera has now personally clarified the situation. She says she had gone for her Covid vaccination; however, news of her being hospitalised because of mental illness went viral. “Mental health is a serious issue and I don’t know how people can make things up and then make fun of the situation as they are,” she said, speaking from New York. “Yes, I’m depressed but I’m not crazy or mental,” Meera added. She shared that she had been losing projects and that was taking a toll on her. “Of course it’s all very depressing for me. There are so many lobbies in play right now. They do not approve my projects,” she further shared. Regardless, we should act responsibly while addressing such a sensitive issue.
