Coronavirus pandemic: Nach Baliye 9 contestant Sourabh Raaj Jain states why we need to be mentally strong right now

Mental health is no joke. It is as important as your physical health, however, people fail to understand this fact. But, thanks to celebrities like Deepika Padukone and Karan Johar (who shared their struggle with depression), people are now more aware of the gravity of the mental illness and its complications. Especially, in a crisis like the one we are currently in due to the coronavirus outbreak, it is extremely important for us to keep our mind calm. We must not lose hope and keep our minds filled with positive thoughts only. And Nach Baliye 9 contestant Sourabh Raaj Jain has similar thoughts to share. The actor feels that speaking up more openly about mental illness can only help people face the situation like a warrior. Instead of holding it back, people need to open in order to come out of their shells.

Talking about how mentally strong we need to be right now, Sourabh Raaj Jain told Pinkvilla, "I strongly believe that having effective control over the mind in these worrisome times is important. If your mind is strong, your body automatically becomes strong. As being mentally strong always helps in building physical strength as well. I also feel that people who are going through internal anxiety or panic about the ongoing situation, need to come out of their heads and speak to their loved ones or even professionals in the space about their thoughts."

He further added that people must always keep themselves busy with something or the other as empty minds make the loudest noise. "Other than that keeping your mind diverted with a hobby, or something new to learn or even exercising can really help recharge and refresh the mind and body. For us at home, our babies keep us busy throughout the day and we have our pet dog Wafer around the house who is an absolute stress buster too," he added.
