Shivya Pathania comes out in support of Bigg Boss 17 contestant Abhishek Kumar over mental health

Shivya Pathania supports Bigg Boss 17 contestant Abhishek Kumar over mental health taunts; he says, "It's hurtful; I've never seen anything like this ever before."

With her fine and memorable performances, Shivya Pathania has left her mark on popular television shows such as 'Dil Dhoondta Hai' and 'Ram Siya Ke Luv Kush'. As Bigg Boss 17 continues to garner widespread attention, the recent incidents on the show left Shivya feeling quite unsettled and shocked.

Contestant Abhishek Kumar has been at loggerheads with his ex-girlfriend Isha Malviya and her boyfriend Samarth Jurel since the beginning, and their fights have become a regular occurrence. This week, however, things went out of control when Isha and Samarth passed remarks on Abhishek's past mental health issues. This did not go down well with many viewers and celebrities, including Shivya Pathania.

Posting a story on her Instagram, Shivya wrote, "Making fun of someone's mental health, emotional wellbeing and laughing at someone's health condition is just too heartbreaking to see.. you don't know how these things affect someone's life and will to live. It's hurtful to see. No one wishes to go through such painful experiences in life, and it's not something to be made fun of.. it's hurtful; I've never seen anything like this before."

As the world becomes more aware of issues surrounding mental health, it is indeed appalling to see someone be made fun of for their struggle with mental health. Thankfully, with solid public figures like Shivya Pathania, people can be reminded to treat such issues with the necessary sensitivity and support those who are going through such problems.
