Read Time:2 Minute, 20 Second

In a heartfelt move, actress Tuba Anwar has revealed that a WhatsApp group has been created by celebrities to address growing concerns over loneliness and mental health challenges in the entertainment industry.

Tuba shared the news during a recent interview, stating that the initiative was inspired by the emotional struggles faced by many in showbiz particularly after the tragic loss of actress Humaira Ali, who reportedly battled loneliness in her final days.

A Support System Born Out of Tragedy

Speaking candidly, Tuba explained, “The idea behind the group is simple check in regularly, be available, and offer emotional support.” She emphasized that many actresses, especially those living alone in major cities due to work commitments, are vulnerable to isolation.

The WhatsApp group serves as a safe space for these individuals to stay connected, share their feelings, and be heard. It’s not just about friendship it’s about fostering a genuine community that looks after one another’s emotional well-being.

The Group Expands Beyond Celebrities

What began as a small initiative has now grown significantly. Actress Sonya Hussyn revealed that the group has expanded to include not only actors but also makeup artists, technical staff, and other behind-the-scenes members of the industry.

“This isn’t just about celebrities,” Sonya said. “It’s about every individual in this field who might be silently struggling with loneliness. We want them to know that they’re not alone.”

Veteran stars like Rubina Ashraf and Yasir Hussain have also expressed their full support for the movement. Meanwhile, the Actors Collective Trust (ACT) is exploring formal ways to structure emotional support mechanisms in the industry.

A Call for Personal Responsibility

While institutional involvement is welcomed, Sonya Hussyn stressed the importance of personal accountability. “We always care for our families, but we must also care for our peers. A simple check-in message, an offer to drop off food, or even just a phone call can make a difference.”

She left a powerful message for everyone working in the field: “If each of us checks on just five people regularly, we might be able to prevent another heartbreaking loss.”

Mental Health Awareness in Showbiz

Tuba Anwar’s initiative comes at a critical time when conversations around mental health are finally gaining ground in Pakistan. The entertainment industry, often glamorized, hides countless emotional struggles behind the scenes.

This WhatsApp group is more than just a chat it’s a step toward changing how the industry handles emotional well-being. It encourages openness, empathy, and the courage to reach out.

As the group continues to grow, it sends out a strong message: no one in the industry should ever feel alone. Thanks to efforts by Tuba, Sonya, and others, a real shift toward emotional solidarity is taking root in the heart of showbiz.
