Anupam Kher helps people fight depression!

The pro-life video, featuring the star, reaches out to those battling depression and extends support to those suffering from its symptoms. Says Anupam Kher, "There still is a taboo associated with depression. People shy away from coming out in the open and discussing it. This even affects not just the victim but their near and dear one's too. A day before my father passed away he gave me the message of living life to the fullest and that's what I hope to encourage people to do with this video.”

Anupam Kher took to Twitter to share the video and wrote, “Friends! This video is an attempt by me to spread awareness about the most silent and perhaps the biggest disease spreading at an alarming speed in the world today - DEPRESSION. Please make it reach out to people and help. Thanks. #LoveLifeLiveLife.”
