Many people fight silent battles while appearing happy to the world. The tragic death of IndiGo crew member Janvi Gupta reminds us how invisible mental struggles can be.
It is painful to realise how little we understand about mental health. Signs often go unnoticed, and life looks normal until it suddenly isn’t.
In a world that values smiles, success, and perfect pictures, inner pain often hides behind celebrations, selfies, and social moments.
Janvi Gupta, 25, worked as a cabin crew member with IndiGo. As per journalist Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj, she hosted a party with friends on the night of October 23 and ended her life the next morning.
Her family shared that she had been battling depression for a long time. The people who celebrated with her just hours earlier are now left with shock, guilt, and endless questions.
They might be replaying every conversation, searching for signs they missed, wishing they could have done something. The thought alone is heartbreaking.
This incident highlights a painful truth. The brightest smiles can hide the heaviest pain. Mental health issues often stay hidden because expressing them still feels difficult and misunderstood.
Janvi’s story is another call for awareness and compassion. We need more empathy, more listening, and more honest conversations about mental health before tragedies quietly steal lives.
