Kirti Kulhari on Battling Stress After Work Pressure

Sharing photographs and videos from the experience, she wrote: “Sometimes getting away is the only way #panchkarma was on my mind for a while and last 6-7 months I had spent buried in my first film as a producer. Stress had become a way of life. A part of me wanted to normalise it but a bigger part of me was not okay with it.”

She chose to visit Ayursiddha Jeevanam in Attingal, Kerala, a place recommended by actor Adil Hussain. “It really did feel like Home. And thank u @_adilhussain for recommending this gem to me I returned healthier, fresher and so grateful for a body that endures so much without complaining,” she added.

Kulhari described the centre as a 400-year-old property that offered basic amenities, traditional Kerala food and the kind of rest her body and mind needed. During one of her walks, she also encountered an elephant kept in captivity and recorded a video, clarifying that she shared it to raise awareness rather than out of enjoyment of the sight.

On the professional front, Kulhari launched her production banner, Kintsukuroi Films, with the dark comedy thriller Nayeka, in which she also plays the lead role. She was last seen in the web series Shekhar Home.

By publicly discussing the cumulative effect of sustained work pressure and her decision to seek structured recovery, Kulhari highlighted the importance of recognising when stress has become normalised. Her account underscores a deliberate choice to pause, address physical and mental fatigue, and return with a clearer sense of balance.
