This World Mental Health Day, actor and mental health advocate Ananya Panday introduced a heartfelt new initiative through her social responsibility platform, So Positive. In collaboration with Odd Giraffe, Ananya has launched ‘Dear Me’, a joyful junk journaling kit that encourages people to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves—one page at a time.
Curated and personally designed by Ananya, Dear Me brings to life the creative freedom of junk journaling—a playful, rule-free way to capture thoughts, memories, and life’s small joys. In a fast-paced digital world, the kit is a gentle nudge to disconnect from screens and spend quality time with your thoughts, creativity, and inner world.
“Whoever knows me, knows my love for journaling. It’s something I’ve done since I was a kid,” said Ananya. “Even now, between shoots or travel, whenever I get a moment, I love capturing moments that are precious to me and revisiting them later. It reminds me to pause and appreciate the little things along the way. My journal is filled with pictures of my family, my dogs, my friends, and little moments that make me smile. With Dear Me, we wanted to create something that helps people experience that same sense of freedom and joy. World Mental Health Day felt like the perfect moment to share this little piece of positivity with everyone.”
The Dear Me kit includes a specially designed journal, sticker sets, decorative scrapbook sheets, envelopes, notecards, fun stationery, and a personalised note from Ananya herself. It's not just a product—it's an invitation to create, reflect, and care for your mental well-being in a creative and meaningful way.
A portion of the proceeds from this initiative will go towards supporting The Rati Foundation, an organisation known for its work in promoting online safety and mental health awareness. This aligns with So Positive’s ongoing mission to promote wellness and responsible digital behaviour.
