Actress Manjima Mohan Announces Instagram Break to Focus on Health and Well-Being
Chennai, Aug 21 (TTP): Popular Tamil actress Manjima Mohan on Thursday announced that she will be taking a short break from Instagram, citing the need to “rest, recharge, and focus on what’s most important.”
The actress, who is known for voicing her thoughts on pressing social issues, said the past few days had reminded her of the importance of health, peace, and well-being.
“Slowing Down Is the Most Powerful Step Forward”
In a heartfelt post, Manjima told her followers:
“The last few days have reminded me of what truly matters! Health, peace, and well-being. Everything else can wait. With that in mind, I’ll be taking a little pause from Instagram to rest, recharge, and focus on what’s most important. Sometimes slowing down is the most powerful step forward.”
The announcement has sparked supportive messages from fans and colleagues across the industry, many of whom praised her for prioritizing her mental and physical well-being.
Recent Criticism of Insensitivity After Plane Crash
This break comes shortly after Manjima expressed disappointment at the way sections of society reacted to a recent tragic airplane crash.
In an emotional Instagram story, she questioned the insensitivity shown by some:
“What has humanity come to? In a heartbreaking crash, we lost so many precious lives and we see people trying to profit from the tragedy. Sensationalizing the event, spreading fear through astrology and numerology, making insensitive jokes, and thrusting microphones into the faces of grieving families. At a time that calls for compassion and respect, is this truly the example we want to set for the next generation?”
Her statement resonated widely with followers, sparking debate on the role of media and public figures in shaping empathy and sensitivity.
A Decade in Cinema
Manjima Mohan, who marked 10 years in the film industry in March this year, reflected on her journey with a note of gratitude.
She wrote:
“Ten years since I began my journey as an artiste, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Every opportunity, every challenge, and every experience has shaped me into the artiste I am today.”
She thanked her directors, producers, co-stars, and fans, calling them the backbone of her career. She also credited her family and friends for standing by her during highs and lows, ensuring she never gave up.
From ‘Oru Vadakkan Selfie’ to Tamil Stardom
Manjima Mohan first rose to prominence in Malayalam cinema with ‘Oru Vadakkan Selfie’, opposite Nivin Pauly, a film that became a runaway hit across Kerala and beyond.
