World Mental Health Day: Raushni Srivastava opens up on her film “Kalika”, highlighting Mental Abuse
World Mental Health Day was globally observed on Friday 10 October, to promote mental health education, raise awareness, and advocate against the social stigma surrounding mental illness. On this significant day, KV Raman senior correspondent, ‘Nation Now’ spoke with actress Raushni Srivastava about her upcoming film, Kalika — a thought-provoking project that delves deep into the issue of mental abuse and its long-lasting emotional impact.
Kalika, slated for an early theatrical release features Raja Guru, Saarrh Kkashyap, and Raushni Srivastava in leading roles. The film takes an unflinching look at the psychological trauma endured by victims of mental abuse, portraying how manipulation and control can quietly destroy a person’s sense of self-worth.
Speaking about the film, Srivastava shared how Kalika aims to shed light on a form of abuse that often goes unnoticed or unspoken. The story follows a victim’s journey from vulnerability to self-realization, ultimately conveying a powerful message of healing, strength, and resilience.
An offbeat art film, Kalika aspires to be an eye-opener for audiences, illustrating not only how abusers exploit emotional weakness but also how survivors find the courage to reclaim their lives. By portraying the complex dynamics of psychological manipulation, the film hopes to encourage conversations about mental health and inspire empathy for those who have endured silent suffering.
On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, we extend our heartfelt wishes and congratulations to the entire team of Kalika. May the film spark greater awareness and contribute to breaking the stigma surrounding mental and emotional abuse.
