She shared, “Mental health has always been an issue that I have been very close to; a dear family member suffered due to the non-awareness of mental health support. That’s when I started Ashray Counseling Center under our family trust and started counseling way back in 1989, which was a time when nobody wanted to talk about mental health. “Wellness is not only about the other parts of the body it’s also about the mind.”
