Shehnaaz: Gill’s sharp response to a fan’s question about therapy
In an interaction on Pinkvilla, a fan asked Shehnaaz, “Ma’am, are you undergoing therapy?” The question stunned the actor and got a sharp reply. “Why therapy? There is no need for it. People who show behavior and ego in front of me need therapy. Those people who need it need to calm their ego. Not me, people like me don’t need it,” replied Shehnaaz.The answer quickly sparked debate online, with some viewers enjoying it while others questioned his answer. A social media user joked, “Bro asked a question and accidentally opened a whole therapy referral department.”
Fans came out to support Shehnaaz Gill
Meanwhile, many others came forward to defend the actor, feeling that the question itself was inappropriate. A fan commented, “Why does she think Shehnaaz needs therapy? Is she a doctor?” Another wrote, “Why does she need therapy? Why even ask such a question? Again, no context, just a clip to discredit her.”

Everyone needs to get therapy because people think they are perfect, but no one is perfect, and everyone can benefit from it.“
