I (20M) was shocked when I got a notification saying, a young Bollywood actor, loved my millions, in his early 30s, a quite successful and famous one committed suicide.

I messaged some of my friends about it. I posted an Instagram story ( I have around 400 followers) about how Male mental health is ignored in my country. I posted another story about my fight with depression. Many of my friends DM’d me, asked me about my well being, I saw posts of RIP on many of my friends’ story but initially none of them addressed the issue of mental well-being, after that they started to repost that story, friends of those friends did it. I got DMs from a few pages on Instagram having followers in millions about my fight with depression. I saw my post and story on many such Instagram pages. 

I know this is not even a small step towards this fight. I feel so sad about him passing away, he was such a superb actor. But I think even the smallest step can lead to big changes.
