Actor Ankur Verma, who plays the lead in the Balaji show ‘Parineeti’ considers himself to be one lucky man, for he had got to romance two ladies in one show.  He is all set to star as a lead protagonist opposite Sonakshi Sinha in the web-series ‘Dahaad’. Mid Day Online met up with him for an exclusive interview on the occasion of ‘World Mental Health Day 2022’

Ankur, have you ever struggled with any kind of clinically diagnosed mental health condition?  If so, will you be comfortable sharing your experience?
I've never diagnosed with any mental health condition, but, if I ever get diagnosed with any it, I'll not be feeling shy about it to tell it the world. I feel mental health condition is like a normal like health conditions. And this is having been forever but it has now been discovered. First people didn't know about it. These days it is increased because of work stress and pressure. People not used to tell it to others that there were in depression. But now people understand and people realize that this is also important. And we should not hype it much that people will get scared. This has to be very normal. If anyone is suffering from it, they should feel free to talk about it, they should get treated and should get work leave.
