Soon after that, controversy queen Kangana Ranaut reacted to Ira’s depression saying that it’s ‘difficult for broken families’ children.
Kangana tweeted, “At 16 I was facing physical assault, was single-handedly taking care of my sister who was burnt with acid and also facing media wrath, there can be many reasons for depression but it’s generally difficult for broken families children, the traditional family system is very important.”

It's just me, myself and I..
Geeez woman, please stop talking. Imagine making another person's struggle about yourself. And stop trivialising mental health and depression. Let the experts talk, not you. https://t.co/sKjRXX5sXE

@KanganaTeam please stop stigmatising mental health especially when you have gone through it yourself. You fail to realise the ripple effect you are causing by your tweets. Some of us are still struggling. Traditional family does not guarantee jackshit #MentalHealthAwareness https://t.co/3zgN8er2OY
