Nazriya Nazim Breaks Silence on Her Absence, Cites Mental Health and Healing Journey
Actress Nazriya Nazim, known for her charming screen presence and celebrated performances across Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu cinema, has finally addressed her prolonged absence from the public eye. The actress, who made her Tollywood debut with Ante Sundaraniki and is often recognized as the wife of acclaimed actor Fahadh Faasil, has been noticeably missing from both professional and personal milestones, leaving fans and colleagues concerned.
Her disappearance from events—most notably the celebrations around the success of her film Sookshmadarshini and her 30th birthday—sparked widespread speculation. Reports also suggested that even those close to her, including directors and producers, were unable to reach her during this period.
Amid growing curiosity and concern, Nazriya took to social media to share a heartfelt note explaining her silence. Though the message provided a glimpse into her emotional state, it left many fans with lingering questions.
“Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well…”
“Being a part of this amazing film industry, it has been difficult for me to stay connected due to personal reasons and a journey of mental healing… I completely shut down — I didn’t take calls or respond to messages. I’m really sorry for that…”
“It might take some more time for me to fully bounce back. But with all your love and support, I’ll reconnect soon. Until then, take care.”
Nazriya also acknowledged receiving the Kerala State Award for Best Actor, a major career achievement, but admitted she was not in the emotional space to celebrate the honor. Her vulnerability struck a chord with fans, many of whom flooded the comments with messages of love and support.
However, the note raised further questions. She made no mention of her husband, Fahadh Faasil—something fans found uncharacteristic of the actress, given the couple’s often-public expression of mutual admiration and closeness. Fahadh, for his part, has remained silent about Nazriya’s absence, deepening the mystery around her personal journey.
Though the actress has chosen not to disclose specific details regarding her mental health or the events that led to her retreat, her message underlined the growing awareness in the film industry around emotional well-being. Her openness, while measured, has sparked important conversations among her fans and peers.
As speculation continues, supporters are hoping for her return, not just to the screen but also to a place of peace and fulfillment. Whether Nazriya chooses to share more in the future or quietly reclaim her space, one thing is clear — her fans are ready to welcome her back with open arms, whenever she’s ready.
