Ace designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee is the most sought after in the fashion industry. It is not an overstatement to say that he is the ultimate favourite of many celebrities and even non-celebrities bride to be.
While this is a known fact that he has styled celebs like Anushka Sharma, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerjee and Alia Bhatt, this is still unknown to many that the ace designer was a student of economics and was almost on his way to Google after his studies.
The designer would have taken up a high paying job in San Francisco but a certain turn of events in his life forced him to take a back seat. From being a student of medicine then economics, Sabya was finally able to find his happy place in fashion designing.
In a recent conversation with a famous media portal, Sabya revealed he was a victim of depression at a very young age of 17. Speaking about the same, he even revealed how he tried to commit suicide but it was a failed attempt. “I was depressed, and I tried to kill myself. I was unconscious, and my mom gave me a slap. I was sad about moving to a new place. Moving from Chandannagar to Kolkata was like moving from the suburbs to Paris. Depression is as common as a common cold. If you’re not depressed, you’re not normal. My depression gave me a lot of clarity. Had I not been depressed, India would’ve lost me to some company called Google, in San Francisco,” he revealed.
Speaking about mental health and how people suffering from depression tend to isolate themselves, he said, “I think the big stigma that happens to most people comes from isolation where people think I’m probably the only one who’s going through it. But when you reach out to a community you realise you’re not. I think right now there is a lot of conversation happening on mental health and everybody can find their community, sometimes if not offline, then definitely online.”
Apart from Sabyasachi other celebs like Deepika Padukone, Shaheen Bhatt have also opened up about their battle with depression.
