Renowned Pakistani actress Nausheen Shah, known for her distinctive style and powerful screen presence, has made a heartfelt return to the public eye after a long absence. The actress, who has starred in several acclaimed television dramas, recently shared the emotional journey behind her time away from the limelight.

Appearing as a guest on the talk show Hasna Mana Hai, Nausheen candidly revealed that she took a break from acting due to serious health challenges, including a deeply personal battle with severe depression.

“There came a point where I couldn’t function,” she confessed. “Daily tasks became impossible. I couldn’t connect with emotions — neither joy nor sadness. It was a very dark place.”

In a rare and brave moment of vulnerability, Nausheen described how her mental health struggles stripped her of her ability to experience life normally. She emphasized that depression is not just a state of sadness but an all-consuming condition that can leave one emotionally numb and disconnected.

Acknowledging the importance of seeking help, the actress shared that she underwent professional treatment and gradually reclaimed her mental and emotional well-being.

Now, rejuvenated and ready for new projects, Nausheen is looking forward to reconnecting with her fans and returning to the screen.
