Actor Mawra Hocane revealed that she is suffering from social anxiety and is hoping to find ways to deal with it.

The 26-year-old starlet took to her Instagram on Thursday and posted a video from her Pilates class. A user asked in the comments section “Don’t you have social anxiety disorder?”

To this, the Sanam Teri Kasam actor replied “Yes. I developed anxiety recently and I’ve been battling with it one day at a time. For everyone who is reading it and has suffered anxiety we are all in this together.”

Khan shared that during the shooting of a TV drama with Shehroz Sabzwari and Shehzad Sheikh, she suffered from four to five attacks. “I felt embarrassed and ashamed that what if my fellow actors get to know that I am sick and that’s why I took medicines to sustain.”

The Khud Parast actress, however, was thankful to her colleagues who recommended her a doctor and she is now on the road to recovery.

According to World Health Organisation (WHO), mental disorders affect one in four people in the world.
