Isha Koppikar: Its Ok To Say ‘I Am Not Okay’

MUMBAI (IANS)- Actress Isha Koppikar, known for her roles in films like Kya Kool Hai HumKrishna CottageEk Vivah Aisa BhiShabri, and Don, has passionately advocated for open conversations about self-worth, resilience, and emotional well-being.

“Fame can be a double-edged sword,” Isha stated. “On one side, you have admiration and success, but on the other, there’s constant pressure to meet expectations that aren’t always real.”

The actress emphasized the industry’s need to acknowledge the human aspect of feeling overwhelmed. “You’re expected to smile through the stress, to keep showing up even when you’re breaking inside. For a long time, I didn’t know it was okay to say, ‘I’m not okay.’ I think more people in the industry need to hear that it’s human to feel overwhelmed and that you don’t have to suffer in silence.”

The relentless demands to perform, maintain a flawless appearance, and stay relevant can severely impact mental health. However, Isha believes that “true strength isn’t about having it all together.”

She added, “You – just as you are – are enough. It’s a simple truth that many of us forget, especially in a world where everything is filtered and curated to suit appearances. True strength isn’t about having it all together, but about being real, being kind to yourself, and knowing that vulnerability is not weakness, but courage in its purest form.”

The actress’s most recent appearance was in the 2024 science fiction film Ayalaan, directed by R. Ravikumar. The film features Sivakarthikeyan and Rakul Preet Singh, alongside Sharad Kelkar, Isha Koppikar, Karunakaran, Yogi Babu, David Broughton-Davies, Bhanupriya, and Bala Saravanan, with Siddharth lending his voice to the titular alien role. Ayalaanfollows Thamizh, who teams up with an alien named Tattoo, to thwart Aryan, a rogue scientist, from creating a deadly Nova gas that threatens Earth.
