The recent suicide of Pratyusha, TV starlet and an upcoming star cannot be dismissed as another celebrity succumbing to the daze of the arch lights. Her death is a reminder of the pulls and pressures that this new generation (the Gen Y or millennial) face in their life. Tragic deaths of young stars like Scott Weiland, Bobbi Kristina Brown (only child of Whitney Houston), Brittany Murphy, Misty Upham, Gia Allemand, Cory Monteith, Amy Winehouse, Jiah Khan and more, all are unnatural and indicate to the same problem. Do not mistake of this being limited to the young stars or celebs alone. The rising number of cases of young people suffering from depression, anxiety and other forms of mental issues is alarming. Study reveals that paradoxes dot all their wellness aspects – material, physiological, emotional and social wellness, resulting into a happiness reversal. That calls for deeper introspection both from societal and organizational point of view and engage them differently to prevent their burnout and breakdown. That is like securing their future and the future of this planet as Gen Y does not only overwhelm by sheer numbers but they represent youth and hope.
