The conversation around men’s mental health often gains attention only after a tragedy. Emotional stress is no longer seen as limited to the mind. Medical research shows it can slowly impact the body as well. Yet, topics like divorce and social pressure remain uncomfortable for many.
The death of Mayank Pawar, known for MTV Splitsvilla 7, has once again drawn focus to this issue. According to his mother, he developed a serious liver condition after his divorce. She said the emotional trauma deeply affected him. Her words have triggered fresh public debate.
Her statement sheds light on a side of matrimonial breakdown that is rarely discussed. Some men may experience prolonged psychological stress and social isolation. In certain cases, this may also reflect in visible physical decline. However, experts urge careful interpretation of such situations.

Medical experts warn that dehydration practices and rapid weight manipulation can be dangerous. Such methods may raise the risk of heart attack, stroke, arrhythmias, liver injury, and sudden cardiac death. Scientific supervision remains essential in high intensity training routines.
