Films that entertain and educate are best: Kunal Kapoor
“I think it is a word that gets thrown around a lot,” says Kunal Kemmu about depression. The actor says that we have been reading a lot about people going through depression of late. He says that he is happy that at least people have started talking about mental illness. “It is like, till I fracture my leg, the pain of my bruise is the worst. It is good that people who say they are stressed are taking help of psychologists and learning about depression. Spreading the word helps to create awareness and further diagnosis.” Kunal who was last seen in Malang also blames it on the device that has got everybody hooked on to.
He says, “We have alienated ourselves so much because of this device and the social media access we have. How can it bother somebody so much? I am surprised how people become happy seeing someone hit a ‘like’ on his or her post, when you don't even know that person, personally. Likewise, why do people get affected by trolls?” He concludes saying, It’s time we talk to people about problems instead of just relying upon hunting for solutions on search engines.”
