Pakistani actress Sana Javed, known for her roles in hit dramas like Khaani, Ruswai, and Darr Khuda Se, has revealed that she went through a period of intense depression due to her highly publicized personal life.
During a recent interview, Sana shared that the emotional toll of her relationship transitions and public backlash deeply affected her mental health. The actress became a trending topic after her unexpected marriage to cricketer Shoaib Malik in early 2024, shortly after her previous marriage with singer Umair Jaswal ended quietly and without public clarification.

“People Had No Idea What I Was Going Through”
In the interview, Sana expressed frustration at how people judged her without understanding her pain.
> “I started falling sick,” she said. “People claimed I wasn’t affected, but how can anyone assume I didn’t go through depression?”
She added,
> “Only the person going through it knows the real struggle. I don’t need to explain my pain to anyone. The fear, the suffering, the anxiety—I endured it all.”

Public Reaction and Backlash
While Sana and Shoaib appear happy together, and Umair Jaswal has also moved on with his life, social media hasn’t been kind to the actress. Some users posted harsh comments, accusing her of being the cause of others’ emotional pain.
One commenter wrote:
> “She went through depression herself and then put someone else’s wife through it by taking her husband?”
Despite the negativity, many fans have also come forward in support, applauding her honesty and courage to speak up about mental health—a topic still considered taboo in many parts of society.
