The actress stressed the importance of recognizing depression as a legitimate and serious illness.

She called on people to support those who may be struggling with depression and encouraged them to seek help from others.

Zara Noor Abbas expressed her deep condolences for the loss of Maulana Tariq Jameel's son and offered prayers, hoping that Asim Jameel finds a place in Jannat al-Firdous (the highest paradise) and peace in the hereafter.
