About our guest :
Archana Kavi is an Indian Actor, Content creator and a KZbinr. She has acted in several Malayalam movies. Her KZbin channel which goes by her name is hugely popular and she has already produced several popular web series like Meenaviyal, Toofan Mail on her channel. On the acting front she was an overnight success with her debut in the superhit movie Neelathamara directed by Lal Jose. She acted in a few movies after that, but none of them could replicate tthe success she had with Neelathamara. She is currently acting in a serial called Rani Raja on Mazhavil Manorama, a General Entertainment Channel in Malayalam. Her character name is Aami in the serial.
In this episode Archana shares her journey from being a film actor to a KZbinr and content creator. She speaks truthfully about the mental health issues that she is dealing with. She talks about the day to day struggles when handling the ups and downs that come with mental health disorders like Depression, Bipolar disorder and PMDD. She has always spoken truthfully about her mental health issues and continues to motivate others to accept them and seek effective treatment. She implores everyone to seek professional help by consulting Psychiatrists or Psychologists and help spread awareness about mental health issues'. The stigma that surrounds mental disorders could be a roadblock, she endeavors to remove the stigma by sharing her life journey with us. Her life journey could be an inspiration to many as she has come out stronger every time she had to face a challenge. She also discusses her relationship with her ex-husband Abish Mathew and why things didn`t work out for the both of them. Her parents have been a strong support system for her all through her difficulties and continue to be her pillar of strength.
Archana is a survivor and a warrior and these two episodes showcase her journey of struggles and how she overcame every setback, every challenge that was thrown her way.
We extend heartfelt gratitude to Archana for sharing what she did on the show and wish her all success in all her future endeavors.

Mental health is not a joke.. Only people who had gone through it will know how difficult it is..

[@favaspoolamanna3692]

ഇത്ര മനോഹരമായി ആത്മവിശ്വാസത്തോടെ, മാനസിക ആരോഗ്യത്തെ കുറിച്ച് സംസാരിക്കുമ്പോൾ എങ്ങനെ ഒരു കമന്റ്‌ ഇടാതെ പോവും. Positivity ♥️ ♥️

Hats off Archana Kavi for who you’re Now 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐

[@rosegratius8070]

The love I had for Archana peaked and is over the top now! I have been following her for a while now. Truly she is inspirational. Thank you Dhanya Varma for the platform you've created to show us her and her story.

[@TheKarishma726]

Hats off Archana!! Nobody can have the guts to say that they were diagnosed bipolar. Lots of love.. Tats immense strength you showed. I remember seeing your KZbin video long back when you were about to develop the symptoms. I was so upset. Am glad to see you as a happier person today.

[@remyaunnikrishnnan5242]

Teared up ....hats off archana for opening up about mental health and learning disability and dhanya too for showing the compassion throughout the interview 😊

[@athirachandran3114]

Proud of you Archana..for speaking your heart out. Many situations you have gone through is so relatable.

[@aneetta_D]

This interview is on another level....just took me somewhere else.made me think.made me cry.made me laugh .made me surprised.made me fell in love( with both of you) .made me connect .💜💜💜

[@kavyasuresh1339]

Exactly 💯

[@rincygomas]

After watching this episode...so much of respect for Archana. U inspire me and many others watching this. Thanks a lot Dhanya chechi for bringing her . Lots of respect for both .

[@saneyasunny2915]

Being diagnosed with bipolar 9 years back, i can totally relate to whatever she's saying. It's a difficult journey and to top it up with very less awareness and support from your near and dear ones. Cheers to her.!!

[@nmg389]

I am going thru clinical depression ....I can totally relate to what she said...every day is a new day in this phase...wishing all the very best to Archana...thank you Dhanya for this wonderful show .

[@sreelakshmyv4369]

Just can't express how relieved I feel after listening to Archana.. RELATABLE LIKE HELL.. Hats off to Archana for speaking up.. it takes hell lots of courage to speak about mental health. And of course her family especially her dad.. ❤️

[@rafeeqce192]

When more and more ppl talk about mental illness openly, the so called stigma around this will slowly disappear. More ppl should come forward and share their experiences. Not every mental illness needs to be categorised as psychosis. I had an employee who suffered from bipolar and he was very good in his job during his 'high' phase. There were a few days he was unable to perform his tasks. We accommodated him to certain extent and he spent ~6 months with us. He could not handle the work pressure and he decided to take a break and focus on his health for sometime. Though bipolar varies from patient to patient, there is proven treatment in Homeo. I know a few patients who are able to manage a decent quality of life with regular medicines, yoga and meditation.

[@hertravelstories]

I'm a C-PTSD patient and i can't agree more to what you said ❤️

[@premnasubin111]

One of the best interviews from Kerala.. Proud of u Archana & much love 💕. Thanks a ton to Dhanya 👏👏

[@nithyaviju]

It's really an eye opener to parents! Kudos to Archana for their courage to open up about her disability 💐

[@losers638]

As someone with learning disability, I can completely relate with everything she said. But what's different in my case is that it totally destroyed my confidence and self esteem. Eventhough I've found ways to deal with my disability, the scars still remain even after 12 years and doesn't look like it's going to heal anytime soon. The thought that always comes back to me is if only someone had diagnosed me back then and my life would have been totally different.

[@iamwithdhanyavarma]

Hope archanas words spreads awareness regarding the same

[@laks1t148]

There is no age/ time limit to improving. Dont close doors feeling its gone. Your new day starts from now on. Know that you are capable, smart. Earlier, if there were failures, it was not you, just a disability getting your way because of the way our education/system was setup. I wish and hope its a new beginning now on and your confidence and self esteem returns and you thrive in life ❤

[@thetruth1682]

You understood what happened in past was not your mistake and the people were wrong which is a great achievement. They should be worried about and improve. You excel in whatever you are interesting in and rock🤘

[@chilankachilanka9957]

[@NEHASURESH]

Archana..Your are such a motivation for children with Dyslexia...Your are so positive...Academics achievement is not the end of all children..So nice you are so open..Please help motivate other kids.

[@lubna4946]

What Archana said at last part of show is really true… your interviews is actually kind of therapy.. it is really helping people.. infact it’s helping me !!

[@kottsodds]

This interview was like a breath of fresh air.... Kudos to Dhanya for listening to what Archana had to say... Archana hang in there girl... Lots of luv n prayers..

[@fathimanajia]

Firstly thanks to dhanya chechi for bringing archana kavi to this show.. the way archana sees her life and how beautifully she is enjoying her as how she is remarkable. This is how a human being should be .. we should really appreciate her for telling everything out in public to make ppl aware of different lives. This is called a strong lady .. and u are so lucky that u have got a brilliant school and parents as backbone which many ppl dont get and wat turns their way down .. the position where she is now sitting in an interview as a celebrity shows how successful she is in her life and that makes her successful and it gives alot of ppl more knowledge to know that think before u utter a word to another person coz nobody knows what is happening in the other person's life .. be kind or be quiet.. keep rocking archana ❤️

[@meg_apras_ith8541]

Beautiful conversation. Hatts off to Archana. You are a great inspiration. Got tears. This s why your show s special. This interview s very special to those who goes through mental health problems. This is who you are ! Wonderful! You are way to go. Thanks to your parents and teachers for acceptance, without that you won't be confident. As Dhanya said it s difficult to describe what you are going through. You did with very lightness and lovely. People should learn from you. God bless both of them.

[@albyjoy91]

You made me cry Archana!!😰 I could feel pain in my heart when I listened to you! Lots of love girl🥰🥰❤️. And a big hug for your parents for what they are!

[@devipriyaravi6670]

Not many will reveal all this in public platform ! Kudos to you girl , Archana! You will do well in life ! Archana might be so relieved talking to Dhanya !

[@leenasunil8363]

What kavi said is right, you are awesome Dhanya ❤. For people like us who sit alone in a different country we enjoy your each interview like you are sitting with us in our space. We too laugh and we too nod and wink like you do. Keep moving ahead. God bless.

[@medhamurali1874]

I'm watching this interview with a bad mental health, but mind full of exposure. I'm in a place where I think, overthink, cry at places that I shouldn't, and everything ruined. But I'm also at that place where I have a lot of ideas and understanding about myself, and that I have that inner energy towards doing it. This interview was worth it. I'd come back whenever I'm not okay and watch this. I'd comeback and watch this whenever I need that little push. Love you Archana and so thankful to Dhanya ❤️

[@aswathydas1972]

i can say that her insight into her own struggles are the real solution to overcome her difficult situation.The conversation is worth watching,some thing so different from our recent cliche interviews.hats off you archana and dhanya.

[@roopikaaravind]

Am teary eyed. I can relate to everything she told. Hats off to Dhanya chechi for making her so comfortable

[@aparnaprasanth8276]

Oh Dhanya Ma'am this is such a pure bliss. Thankyou for making it happen. And I must say Archana is just a beauty inside out. Much love to both of you.!!!

[@lairyfights]

24:23 THIS! I couldn't relate more. Almost all of my friends are not even comfortable with me talking about my bipolar disorder, and they can't understand when my symptoms show up. They just think I'm being mean. My parents, on the other hand, have been the most supportive and understanding to me. Like most of the people in their generation, my parents are not very aware of mental illnesses. But they, especially my mom always tried their best to support me and understand me in all my conditions. I have seen many people suffering with bipolar disorder all over the world saying that their parents/moms helped them live with the illness. I have realized and came to terms with the fact that apart from my immediate family, no one will ever be supportive of me (except other people who have BD who can relate to my experiences).

[@overtherainbow12345]

My God Dhanya u will b blessed. Cos this interview is... I'm tearing up. Thankyou Archana thankyou.. God bless. And thankyou for being who u r today. It takes a lot of willpower to be at where u r. Thanks for sharing and pls know u r not alone..

[@sreelakshmidas245]

this is a must watch video in YT. Thank you Dhanya chechi for bringing it out.. and Archana chechi... Love her since 2009.. ❤️❤️

[@SimV239]

It’s not easy to openly talk about your mental struggles like depression & anxiety, because of the lack of awareness in our society. Its either looked down upon or you’ll be met with ignorant advices like, “kooduthal alochichu kootitanu”, “enthenkilum okke cheythondirunnal mathi” Or “athu verum ninte thonal aanu” What people don’t know is, these are involuntary feelings & you didn’t invite them over. It takes a lot for that person to even understand what’s going on, when they do understand, the hardest part of it all is to come to terms with the diagnosis & to accept it. They’re Constantly questioning themselves, “how did I end up here?” “Why am I going through this?” “Why can’t I be normal?”. You want that pain to end so bad that you’re willing to do anything to feel normal & yourself again. It’s a long & hard battle, the worst part is, nobody knows you’re battling your inner demons every living moment, while you’re out shopping or just hanging out with your family.. you put up your brave front, because you want to seem normal to others. You have no idea, what it takes for these people to be out there, when they’re struggling deep inside. This is why, when someone dies of suicide, or attempts to, the common reaction of their loved ones is, “we didn’t know, what she/he was going through” “she/he was such a happy fun person, can’t believe she/he was depressed”. Please remember to always check on your friends & family.. LISTEN, when someone is opening up to you.. don’t say anything, don’t ask, don’t offer help.. just LISTEN. It is perfectly alright to not understand them, but support them nevertheless in whatever way they ask you to. If a loved one is suicidal or is experiencing suicidal thoughts, make sure you’re with that person & get help ASAP. never blame yourself, if things go wrong with someone you know. You did your best & it’s not your fault. Lastly when someone says, there’s something wrong with them or they don’t feel alright or they say they’re constantly feeling low, believe them.

Archana kavi, unknowingly without knowing anything about you I assumed a lot about you and kept a perception about your film and also the acting skills watched films which you where part of but except one rest was ......but watching this interview, you gave me a different perception about you and this you in the video is more interesting, than you in big screen. May be a movie of your life by Vineeth srinivasan will be a great to see in future to give more learning to parents Keep doing more awareness in the society thru this Thank you and hats off Have a great life
