Parambrata Chattopadhyay on mental health: ‘We think someone has to be vilified, some extraneous factors have to be there’
Hindustan TimesEven as theatres across the country remain shuttered due to the coronavirus pandemic, Parambrata Chattopadhyay has seen a good mix of theatrical and OTT releases. Parambrata, who has acted alongside a lot of ‘star kids’ in the Bengali film industry, said that he has never been a victim of nepotism or favouritism. On being asked if it is more difficult for celebrities to deal with mental health issues because of the constant scrutiny, Parambrata says that it is a universal issue and the discussion should not be limited to public figures alone. Parambrata says that perhaps mental health is not taken as seriously as it should be. Emphasising that the conversation on mental health is extremely important, Parambrata says that it should be a larger discussion, instead of focussing only on celebrities.
