Mumbai recently witnessed a very special and large-scale campaign. The campaign aimed to raise awareness about mental health. The campaign was called 'Mumbai Cyclothon 2025' and was held at the MMRDA Grounds. Over six thousand cyclists took part in the Mumbai streets. It was a wonderful, joyous sight, with so many people, whether first-timers or families, joining in this noble cause.

Mental Health Campaign Sees Bollywood Support
Many big Bollywood stars were also present at this special event. Superstars like our very own Mumbai Bhidu Jackie Shroff, the evergreen Sunil Shetty, and renowned star Mahima Chaudhary took part in the campaign and emphasized the importance of mental health. Their presence added to the glamorous charm of the campaign. These stars conveyed to both their fans and the general public that mental health is as important as physical health, and that just as various exercises are essential for physical health, various types of hygiene are also essential for mental health.

The cyclothon also included Mumbai's famous "dabbawalas" and "postmen," without whom everyday life in Mumbai is difficult to imagine. They also rose from their seats to support this important campaign. Parathletes too participated, demonstrating that no physical condition can prevent mental health awareness.

This entire crowd wasn't just cycling with their superstars, but they were also conveying a powerful message: "Take care of your mental health and talk about it openly." This campaign was launched to break the social stigma surrounding mental illness and encourage open discussion about it.

Jackie Shroff, who participated in the event, said that such initiatives instill hope in people and reduce the shame associated with mental health issues. Cycling brought a sense of energy and joy to them, making them happy and encouraging them to move forward with renewed enthusiasm.
When such a large number of cyclists gather in Mumbai, it brings a positive and new message to the city. This not only increases traffic on the roads but also conveys a message of unity and support among the people.

Suniel Shetty said that such mental health awareness is greatly needed in many parts of the city. Especially in today's fast-paced and stressful times, people often hide their mental health issues. Such events give them the courage to speak out without fear and seek help if needed.
The cycle rally, which included families with children, young people, the elderly, and people with special needs, had a joyful atmosphere.

Although this was a major first, it seems its impact will be far-reaching. Such events will now gain further traction, leading to open discussions on mental health in major Indian cities.
There are calls for Mumbai's initiative to be replicated in other parts of the country so that everyone can take care of their mental health. After all, the mind deserves care just like the body.

The tagline of this campaign was "Run for your mind, run for your city, run for change." This slogan united people. Such events not only provide entertainment but also foster understanding and courage in society.
So, Mumbaikars, the public, and stars have truly set an example this time. They demonstrated that when people come together for a noble cause, no challenge is too great.

Let us all learn this and take time out for our friends, family, and our city to discuss such issues. After all, change in life only comes when we act together.
