Shalini Passi on Handling Mental Health Talk with Gen Z

Shalini Passi, a socialite and actor, talked about a time when a young person from Gen Z told her they were feeling very depressed.

She shared this story on a podcast called The Chill Hour.

Shalini said that the kid's parents had asked her to talk to their child because the kid didn't feel comfortable talking to their own mom.

Shalini told the kid that when she was their age, she was busy taking care of a child, managing a household, and going to late-night classes.

She asked the kid what they had to be depressed about, saying they were in a great university and living their dream.

She encouraged the kid to be enthusiastic about their opportunities.
