Bollywood Star Sonakshi Sinha Turns to Painting to Manage Stress

As of 2025-11-02T12:17:42+00:00, Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha has opened up about her special bond with art and how it helped her through difficult periods in her life. In a recent interview, Sinha shared that she used to paint whenever she felt sad, as it would calm her mind and allow her to "disappear into a different world."

However, Sinha revealed that she stopped painting the day she met her husband, Zaheer Iqbal. But Iqbal has been encouraging her to reconnect with that side of herself, telling her, "I hope you don't have to be sad to paint again, but you really need to start again because you are very good at it." It has been about 8 years since Sinha last picked up a paintbrush.

Art therapy is a form of therapy that uses various creative activities, such as painting, to help people express and understand their emotions. It is known to be an effective way to handle stress and enhance overall well-being by promoting relaxation, boosting confidence, and supporting emotional balance.
