Former actor sana khan has found herself embroiled in a controversy around her recent comments on depression which she shared in her recent vlog. In her latest vlog, sana shared her personal experiences with pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum depression wherein her comments about post-partum depression left a section of netizens angry.

In the vlog, sana is seen talking about her own experience with postpartum depression and says that new mothers should not ponder over it and constantly remind themselves about it. sana said, "If someone is battling postpartum depression, don’tthink too much about it. Let it go because, at the end of it, it affects your mental health. It is difficult; lifestyle changes, suddenly there is a new person next to you who wakes up crying, your sleep cycle changes… I also noticed a lot of similar things.”

The actor also suggested finding solace in spirituality, "I remember feeling fatigued and dozing off while feeding the baby. This is very normal; a person could also feel lonely even if there are 100 people at home. I have also gone through that. But when you constantly tell yourself that you are depressed, somewhere, you will start feeling it. Try to overcome it; try to improve your spirituality.”

Netizens Reactions

Sana's comments did not go down well among many people on social media, especially on Reddit, who slammed sana for the views. A user wrote, “This is so tone deaf!! Like telling someone with a leg fractured? Don’t think about it, just walk it off”, while another wrote, "I have been battling depression since a decade now..now tell me why did thinking ‘mujhe kuchh nahi hua hey’, ‘mujhe kuchh nahi hua hey’,’mujhe kuchh nahi hua hey’ for years not help me get out of it? Educate yourself if you lack Common sense otherwise STFU.”

Another comment read, "How stupid is she?”, while another wrote, "Why does she or any XYZ celebrity have to talk about mental health when they are not a professional? Who asked for their opinion?"

“Easy for you to say with the nanny and all the servants working around you to take care of the baby and do all the house chores that the depression that women after giving birth go through is not real”,” another user wrote.
