Ranbir Kapoor: ‘Don’t use it as an excuse to not do things’
Ranbir Kapoor recently opened up about the importance of addressing mental health, particularly in the context of male vulnerability in India. In a candid conversation, he emphasized the need for men to deal with mental health issues “quietly” and “with grace,” rather than using them as an excuse to avoid responsibilities.
Kapoor discussed how societal expectations often pressure men to suppress their emotions, contributing to a stigma around seeking help. Reflecting on his own experiences, including the death of his father, Rishi Kapoor, Ranbir acknowledged the challenges of expressing emotions and the importance of not shying away from therapy or support when needed.
Kapoor’s discussion highlighted the broader issue of how mental health is perceived among men in India, where vulnerability is often misconstrued as weakness. By sharing his thoughts, Kapoor aims to encourage more open conversations around mental health, urging men not to be ashamed of seeking help or showing vulnerability.
