After Sanchita Ugale's Suicide, Aanchal Khurana Opens Up About Depression and Industry Pressure

The young actress Sanchita Ugale has taken her life on June 14th. She was part of many hit TV shows such as "Kumkum Bhagya," "Saajan Ghar," and "Dilwali Dulha Le Jayenge." After the death of Sanchita, actress Aanchal Khurana criticized the TV industry and asked some queries about that.

In her recent Instagram post yesterday, actress Aanchal Khurana came out looking rather upset. In her post about the passing away of Sanchita Ugale, she exposed the working trend in the TV industry which makes the actor go through a lot of mental pressure. As per Anchal, if you are not saying your dialogues in TV, then your place can be easily replaced.

Anchal says in the video, "An actor committed suicide. Channels need TRPs, producers need to save budgets, and viewers need entertainment. But have you ever considered what an actor goes through behind this? Replacement over a small matter. Replacement if you don't sleep with someone, replacement if you argue with someone. Replacement if you protect your self-respect."

Anchal captioned the video, "This may upset the channel and producers, but this is the truth. I stand smiling in front of the camera, but inside, there's a storm raging. Every day, we wake up trying to achieve the next audition, that one line, or our dream, something no one can see." What no one pays attention to is our fatigue. The pressure to remain relevant and the fear of being forgotten are overwhelming. They fail to see how we break down inside behind closed doors.

In the video shared, Aanchal is seen saying that she has returned to Delhi to be with her parents. Aanchal said that in such difficult circumstances, artists should seek the support of their families. She explained that she herself has experienced depression and stress. She returned to her family. Today, Tuesday, Aanchal shared another video on Instagram. In it, she says, "Don't teach me patience, manners, and the praise of character. I have lifted myself from a place where others hang themselves from the fan." She added, "I say only what I believe in. Even if I end up alone. Being true to myself is more important to me than being liked."
