Pakistani actress Mahira Khan discusses depression and anxiety triggered by the backlash following her first Bollywood film “Raees” in 2016.
Speaking on the FWhy Podcast, the 38-year-old actress said the backlash and demeaning comments she received “brought out the anxiety and depression hidden inside me.”
“That was a hard time for me. I felt attacked,” she said. “The constant backlash… You are getting mean tweets and comments on (the Indian) channels. That was a time my faith broke, and I developed severe anxiety to the point that one day, I had a panic attack and fainted. That was the first time I went to therapy. But that didn’t work out, as I went to several therapists… that year was rough… I couldn’t sleep; my hands used to shake.”

In the podcast, Khan also said that she had been on anti-depressants for the last 6 years and was told by a psychiatrist that she has ‘manic depression.’
“I ended up in a psychiatrist’s office, and she said, ‘We’ll talk about everything later, but I need you to know that you have manic depression.’ This is the first time I’m saying that I don’t know if I should. It’s been six, seven years, and I’ve been on anti-depressants. I tried leaving them in the middle, and I went into a very, very dark space,” she said.
Khan found herself amid another Bollywood controversy in 2017 after pictures of her smoking with actor Ranbir Kapoor in London went viral.

With no film industry to speak of, and limited funds to make a movie in one of the most remote places on earth, young Bhutanese director/writer Pawo Choyning Dorji pulled off a miracle with his first feature, Lunana: A Yak In The Classroom which came out of nowhere to get an Oscar nomination for Best International Feature (formerly Best Foreign Language Film) in 2019.

In principle, using the rainy-day, kitchen-sink post-rock of Manchester band The Smiths so prominently in a film like The Killer seems incredibly perverse, given that it’s an exotic, globe-trotting thriller about an American assassin. But in reality, it’s actually very sound choice indeed: legend has it that the band’s singer, Morrissey, had two reasons for naming his band so, the first being that “Smith” is one of the most common and thus unremarkable surnames in the world. The second, and much more subversive theory, suggests that it’s also a reference to David and Maureen Smith, brother-in-law and sister of ’60s serial killer Myra Hindley, the snappily dressed couple whose testimony blew open the Moors Murderers case and whose beatnik likenesses adorn the cover of Sonic Youth’s 1990 album “Goo”.
Killers of the Flower Moon is gearing up for its wide release!
Though “Killers of the Flower Moon” has been one of, if not the most anticipated films of 2023, there has been quite a few questions about how it was going to be released.
Altering an initial platform-release plan, Apple Original Films will instead launch the Cannes Film Festival hit Killers of the Flower Moon to a wide global theatrical release October 20. Apple is partnered with Paramount Pictures on the theatrical release. This before the Martin Scorsese-directed film that stars Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone gets an Apple TV+ berth. That timing is undetermined at the moment, but it will surely be in the heat of awards season.
