Sunaina Roshan, sister of actor Hrithik Roshan, has once again opened up about her deeply personal health journey—this time shedding light on her ongoing struggle with social anxiety. Known for her honest conversations around healing and self-growth, Sunaina shared a candid video on Instagram, offering comfort to those who may be experiencing similar challenges.
Sunaina has previously spoken about overcoming cervical lymphoma and reversing grade 3 fatty liver disease, and her social media presence has since evolved into a safe space focused on wellness, nutrition, and emotional resilience.
Why She Stepped Away from Social Media
In her post, Sunaina explained why she chose to take a step back from social media, describing it as an act of self-preservation rather than withdrawal.
“I still have moments where my legs shake and my mind runs faster than it needs to,” she wrote. “But I’ve also learned that stepping back doesn’t make me fragile. It makes me unbreakable, because I’m choosing myself.”
She reassured followers that healing is not linear and encouraged anyone feeling overwhelmed to take things “one breath at a time.”

Living With Social Anxiety
In the video, Sunaina spoke openly about how social anxiety affects her daily life. She described the mental and emotional toll it takes before and during social interactions.
“It’s that uncomfortable feeling before you enter a room. It’s overthinking every conversation. It’s worrying about being judged even when nobody’s actually judging you,” she said, adding that despite progress, she still experiences these moments.
She also shared the physical symptoms she faces in crowded spaces.
“When I have too many people around me, my legs shiver, they go numb, and they feel unstable. I need to hold on to someone for support,” she revealed, explaining that these experiences led her to temporarily step away from social platforms.
Coping Practices That Help Her Heal
Sunaina highlighted the tools that have helped her regain a sense of balance, including:
- Taking intentional breaks from social media
- Journaling
- Meditation
- Gentle self-talk
- Regular therapy sessions
“So sometimes stepping back is the only way to breathe,” she shared, normalising the need to pause without guilt.
