Before 2016, Bollywood characters never went to "shrink." Shah Rukh Khan’s character famously says: “It’s okay to not be okay.” The film destigmatized seeking help, especially for young adults.

While she won awards for Highway and Raazi , her portrayal of Kaira is painfully real. You don’t just watch her breakdowns; you feel them. The scene where she confesses her childhood abandonment issues is masterclass acting.
