On World Mental Health Day, Shaheen Bhatt launched a special initiative called 'Here Comes The Sun,' which aims at encouraging conversations around depression and anxiety. Alia cheered for her sister and shared a special post on her Instagram profile on Thursday, in which she talked about how Shaheen transformed "something so personal" into "a symbol of strength and empathy."
A proud Alia shared Shaheen's post on her Instagram profile and she wrote: "I am so proud of you Shaheen and of Here Comes The Sun. You have taken something so personal and made it a symbol of strength and empathy."

Sometimes all you need to know that you're not alone. I'm here a 100%..... To start the conversation, to raise awareness and to join you on this journey, every step of the way."
