From Screen To Wellness: Shruti Seth’s Journey
Shruti Seth, widely recognized for her roles in the popular television series ‘Shararat’ where she played Jiya and as the anchor of ‘Comedy Circus,’ has successfully transitioned from being solely an entertainer to establishing herself as a respected voice in the mental wellness space.
The actress recently expressed her excitement about participating in the Festival of Wellbeing for the second time. In a recent Instagram post, she shared: “Excited to be a part of The Festival of Wellbeing 2025 by @businessworldbw for the second time. Will be in conversation with @natasha.pratap on the topic The Power of Pause: Embracing Stillness & Creativity for Wellbeing. Need more of such spaces pan India, to expand the conversation about mental wellbeing. Now more than ever.”
The Importance Of Pause In Modern Life
Seth’s discussion focuses on the critical need for mindful breaks in our increasingly fast-paced lives. The conversation explores how creating intentional pauses can foster creativity and contribute significantly to overall mental wellbeing.
This topic aligns perfectly with Seth’s recent social media messaging, where she has been advocating for self-awareness and burnout prevention. In a thought-provoking post just days before the event, she questioned: “A question we rarely ask ourselves. And a big reason why people jump lanes later in life or many experience a sense of burnout. Staying connected to what feels effortless, joyful, enriching, fulfilling either through our jobs or our hobbies is a great way to keep growing. It keeps us curious and inspired. It safeguards and fuels our wellbeing.”
According to the event details, the Festival of Wellbeing aims to bring wellbeing to center stage by amplifying voices shaping its future. Seth’s participation underscores her commitment to expanding mental health conversations across India.
“Now more than ever,” Seth emphasized in her promotional post for the event, highlighting the urgency of addressing mental wellness in contemporary society.
From Actress To Mental Wellness Advocate
Seth’s career has evolved significantly over the years. While she continues to work in entertainment, she has developed a parallel identity as a mental wellness coach. This transition reflects a growing trend of celebrities using their platforms to advocate for mental health awareness.
According to her Wikipedia page, Shruti Seth began her career as a model before moving to television, where she gained popularity through shows like ‘Shararat.’ Her shift toward wellness coaching represents a thoughtful career expansion that leverages her public platform for meaningful social impact.
