Aparna Piramal Raje admits that her mind makes “movies in my head”. “In my movies, there is drama, action, comedy, and a lot of trauma. The challenge with these movies in your head is that you are totally disconnected from the outside world… they are so engrossing, that you can’t pay attention [to anything else],” Raje shared at an event last year. The motivational speaker, mental health advocate and author has never shied away from talking about living with bipolar disorder. Her recently released YouTube channel, like her book, Chemical Khichdi, has become an extension of her advocacy.
It’s true that to normalise mental illness, we need to talk more about it. When someone like Raje, daughter of VIP Industries chairman Dilip Piramal, has these conversations, it makes many others feel seen. The barriers of class and gender can often prevent people from voicing out. Not to mention the stigma attached to mental illnesses. Raje, who herself draws strength from family and friends, has been using her social media to break some of these walls—first, by sharing her own life story, and how she “hacked” it, and most importantly, through outreach.
