Amidst news reports surrounding the demise of Tunisha Sharma and her alleged suicide, news anchor turned actress Charrul Malik has addressed the issue of work-life balance and stress in the television and media industry. The Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai actress revealed how her personal experiences have taught her the importance of counselling and the frequency required for dealing with the challenges of hectic work schedule professions.
Tunisha Sharma death: TV actress Charrul Malik raises questions about long working hours in TV industry; insists on the need of counseling therapy
Talking about how the round-the-clock workhours in the industry could have impacted Tunisha Sharma, who started off as a child artist, Charrul Malik said, “Working for 14-16 hours is not good for anybody, whichever field they are in. Shooting for many hours affects your overall well-being. Tunisha started as a child artist and somewhere that age and stage is very challenging for an adolescent who is moving towards the teenage years. Looking at the scenario, I feel a change is required. Before this when I was in the media, I also had to overwork. I have also shot for a film and therefore from experience what I can say is that the most challenging field is media, where you don’t know about the working hours at all as anything can happen anytime.”
She continued, “While working constantly you don’t pay attention to your mental or physical. Sometimes, when you have a good company then you are fortunate, while the absence of positive people around you makes it worse. I am hoping for this discussion on a larger scale in order to reach a solution. From the outside, people find this life very glamorous. Social media adds to the sham. So, it’s high time that this discussion happens.”
“Tunisha was too young to achieve whatever she has. At her age, youngsters study, spend time with their parents, family and friends. It’s a very crucial time when your mind can certainly not get diverted or else you feel mentally abused and might not be able to understand the symptoms of depression. I think somewhere she was depressed. When I was in the media I couldn’t balance my work and family.”
Charrul maintained that counseling therapy is what is required for professions like these. “I think counselling is a must at least once or twice a month. People want to tell a lot of things but can’t because of the fear of being judged or too many people coming to know about it. You can’t open up to anyone. We all think that we are fit but it’s really important to vent out and talk to counsellors so that we feel better. If you are mentally fit then you can run in this rat race and win it too,” she concluded.
