Gulshan Devaiah calls out Nawazuddin Siddiqui for referring to depression as an `urban concept`

Gulshan Devaiah and Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Gulshan Devaiah has reacted to actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s comments on depression, a medical condition that the latter referred to as an “urban concept”. Devaiah took to Twitter to share a link to Siddiqui’s interview in which he comments on how villagers don’t get depressed, and that people from the cities “glorify” their emotions. “Dritharashtra and Gandhari syndrome. I immensely respect the man for his craft but I’d not take him seriously on this issue. If you consider alcoholism or addiction, they exist in rural communities, and those are mental illnesses. No addict indulges in addiction because they love it. The addiction is a symptom, the real problem is the trauma they can’t heal.”
