Advocating for Change: Somy Ali Productions Releases Short Films to Tackle Mental Health Stigma
Humanitarian and former Bollywood actress Somy Ali is proud to announce the launch of Somy Ali Productions, a bold new platform dedicated to addressing urgent social issues through powerful storytelling. The production house’s debut films, “Sparkle” and its Hindi counterpart “Chamak”, are emotional narratives designed to raise awareness about mental health and the silent battles many face, even among those in the limelight.
Released on SomyAliProductions.com, these five-minute films illustrate the profound impact of depression on people from all walks of life, and aim to encourage greater empathy and understanding around the mental health crisis.
Amplifying the Work of No More Tears and The Live Love Laugh Foundation
Through this launch, Somy Ali Productions seeks to amplify the critical work of Somy Ali’s nonprofit organization, No More Tears (NoMoreTearsUSA.org), which provides support to victims of domestic violence and human trafficking, and The Live Love Laugh Foundation (TheLiveLoveLaughFoundation.org), founded by actress Deepika Padukone to raise awareness about mental health and offer hope to those struggling with depression.
Somy Ali, who has spent years advocating for survivors of abuse and trauma, is passionate about extending her advocacy to include mental health, recognizing that trauma often leads to serious mental health challenges like depression. “Sparkle” and “Chamak” are powerful reflections of this mission, depicting the hidden emotional struggles faced by many—even those who outwardly seem to have it all.
“Depression is a global issue, and it doesn’t discriminate,” says Somy Ali. “It impacts people across every spectrum of society, from survivors of abuse to successful public figures. Our goal with these films is to encourage people to seek help and to spark an honest dialogue about mental health—because it is just as important as physical health.”
A Call for Media to Champion Mental Health Awareness
Somy Ali Productions calls on journalists and media outlets everywhere to prioritize mental health stories and break the stigma surrounding mental illness. With depression rates climbing globally, especially in high-stress environments like the corporate world and entertainment industries, it’s crucial to shine a light on these issues.
“Sparkle” and “Chamak” reflect the urgent need for mental health resources and support, and both films serve as a rallying cry for greater compassion, education, and action. The media has a significant role to play in amplifying these messages, ensuring that conversations about mental health are as commonplace and accepted as those about physical well-being.
