A Global Movement — and Mumbai Is Part of It
One of Mumbai’s Most Trusted Celebrity Psychiatrist in Mumbai & Famous Psychiatrist in Mumbai
The stigma around mental health treatment is quietly dissolving — and celebrities are leading the way. Deepika Padukone was appointed as India’s first-ever Mental Health Ambassador by the Union Ministry of Health, a milestone that reflects how far the conversation has come. Aamir Khan, on World Mental Health Day, shared openly that he and his daughter Ira have both been benefiting from therapy for years — normalising professional help in the most powerful way possible. In Hollywood, Jennifer Lawrence has spoken candidly about her lifelong battle with social anxiety, disclosing that she attended regular therapy sessions as a teenager. Bradley Cooper has been equally honest — crediting therapy as central to his recovery from depression and addiction, saying it helped him build real self-esteem and learn to live authentically. Globally, voices like Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and Demi Lovato have used their platforms to reduce shame around seeking help. In Bollywood too, Anushka Sharma, Karan Johar, and Shah Rukh Khan have spoken candidly about anxiety, depression, and the immense value of professional support — making it clear that mental health treatment is not a luxury or a last resort. It is a choice that successful, high-functioning people make.
Dr. Pavan Sonar has, over 22+ years in Mumbai, had the privilege of working with some of the city’s most prominent names — top businessmen, corporate leaders, media personalities, and celebrated figures — alongside the city’s everyday heroes: hardworking Mumbaikars from every neighbourhood, background, and walk of life. Across all classes, all genders, and all communities, the work remains the same: evidence-based psychiatric and sexual health care, delivered with absolute discretion, genuine depth, and zero judgement. Because mental health and sexual wellbeing are not privileges of the famous or the fortunate. They belong to everyone — and in this clinic, everyone is treated as equally deserving of them.
