Hania Aamir recently made a thought-provoking statement in support of men's mental well-being.

The actor shared a poignant message on her Instagram, accompanied by a photo featuring herself alongside actors Ali Rehman Khan and Mirza Gohar Rasheed, initiating a conversation on a crucial yet often overlooked issue – men's mental health.

In her emotionally charged note, Aamir addressed the prevalent societal stigma surrounding men and mental health, emphasising that while discussions on mental well-being have become more acceptable, men, in particular, face a unique challenge.

She highlighted the societal norm that expects men to adhere to a stoic portrayal of strength, leading them to suppress their emotional struggles due to the concept of "manning up."

"It’s not nearly a taboo anymore when it comes to talking about mental health," said the actor. "But unfortunately men were raised “to man up.”

I have had the privilege of being in the company of some great human beings and it would break my heart to ever know that they find it difficult to voice their mental health issues just because they’re expected not to.
