‘Airlift’ glam-heroine Nimrat Kaur to ‘lift’ spirits of mentally-distressed

The corona pandemic has unleashed a terrible tsunami-wave of critical health conditions, financial crisis, and untimely deaths all over India At the same time, there is a separate wave of anxiety and apprehension due to the crumbling healthcare system including appalling lack of oxygen facilities, no vacant hospital-beds, and acute shortage of vaccine stocks - Chaitanya Padukone

Popular charming Bollywood model-actress Nimrat Kaur is diverting the search-lights on the declining mental health of citizens who are undergoing stress-tension due to the Covid-19 pandemic .

“All of us are dealing with different struggles. I speak to my friends and family, and every day, there are unfortunate incidents — economic and personal losses.

In some ways, mental health is a priority in such times,” Nimrat has shared with the news-media.

The glamorous yet sensitive-intense actress-model Nimrat who first shot into instant fame with her Cadbury chocolate ad-TV commercial,where she has a snowball hurling romantic-one-upmanship game with her male partner, is now working with volunteer groups .

The agenda-plan is to curate a list of mental health professionals who will eagerly help mentally-distressed citizens.

Besides creating a network, she will oversee the daily progress of those in distress who have approached them Additionally, she will amplify mental health help-lines through her social media handles.

The dynamic Nimrat emphasises that hardly any attention has been paid to the mental well-being of frontline workers, who have been putting up a brave front against the crisis since early 2020.

“We need to stop and ask who is supporting our support system. Our frontline workers have shown such commitment.

Senior doctors and medical personnel are at the breaking point. They are trained to save lives. When they can’t do that, their sadness is unfathomable.

Going through such emotions for a prolonged period can be deterring. Their mental well-being is critical in such times,” justifies the internationally acclaimed winsome actress .

Nimrat made waves with her riveting role in American TV series Homeland and in Alt Balaji web-series The Test Case .

During her initial career, she made a striking appearance as a wow-model in a few music-videos .

But her acting break-though came when Nimrat was cast as co-star with acclaimed ‘late’ actor Irrfan Khan in the unconventional realistic homely subject film.

‘The Lunchbox’ which was highly appreciated at over seven international film-festivals. Defying her glam-babe image, Nimrat played a totally de-glam housewife in this middle-class milieu movie, The romantic-drama chronicled the story of lively Ila, a housewife (Nimrat ), who strikes a platonic friendship with Irrfan’s widower character (Saajan Fernandes) over written-letters-messages .

This happens when a tiffin carrier service ‘wrongly’ delivers the lunchbox intended for her husband, instead to Irrfan’s character at his office.

Then there was mega-star Akshay Kumar playing her macho husband in movie ‘Airlift’ ( patriotic rescue-mission theme).

Currently, the off-screen social-samaritan Nimrat has been shooting for ‘Dasvi’ co-starring Abhishek Bachchan and Yami Gautam.
