But as said, depression is a battle wherein no one can help, Alia does feel helpless at times. “Though my sister and I share a very honest relationship, nothing that I can say or do can help her situation. So yes, she has to constantly work herself out of her depression. Whenever she seeks me for companionship, I am there. Otherwise she is a strong person and she has to deal with it herself. No matter how much I love her, I can’t help her get over the depression. She has to do it on her own,” Alia expressed.

Talking about ‘Dear Zindagi’, the film does highlight the suffering of a person who is a victim of depression.
