Mahesh Babu’s sister opens up about her depression

Superstar Krishna’s daughter and Mahesh Babu’s sister, Manjula has opened up about her struggles with

depression

in a new video.

Manjula Ghattamaneni launched her own YouTube channel recently. In the first video that she posted on the channel, she has revealed that she has struggled with depression for over ten years. In the five-minute-long video, she details how she coped with her mental health issues by adopting a healthy lifestyle and practising meditation.

“I am Superstar Krishna’s daughter, Mahesh Babu’s sister, a National Award winner and producer of the biggest commercial hit Pokiri. I was happy about these things but I realised that there is a lot more to me than just these. I wanted to know the world. I have dedicated 30 years of my life to

personal development

and 20 years to meditation practise. I have practised meditation for more than 10,000 hours. I started this intense journey of self-development after hitting rock bottom and constantly feeling overwhelmed with my problems. One night out of sheer frustration, I started praying. After this, I felt myself becoming calmer and more peaceful. I dedicated more time to the people who are closest to me and kept practising meditation. Now, equipped with all the information I have gathered on my journey of self-discovery I have come to help my fans out as a guide and mentor,” she said in the video.

Fans were delighted to hear of Manjula Ghattamaneni’s journey and many commented that they were looking forward to finding out more details of her self-development.
