Vijayendra Kumeria: A Healthy Mind Leads to a Healthy Body

On World Mental Health Day, Vijayendra Kumeria — who is currently seen as Sanyam Singh in Juhi Mui — turned the spotlight from physical fitness to the mind. Speaking with IWMBuzz, the actor made one thing clear: being physically fit does not mean a person is completely healthy.

For Indian TV viewers, that message lands close to home. Actors are often judged on how they look and how much energy they bring to a role. But Vijayendra says the quieter side of wellness, mental health, decides how well the body actually performs.

The mind-body connection he follows

Vijayendra called mental health “even more important than physical health.” His reasoning is direct: a healthy mind leads to a healthy body, and mental state affects hormonal balance. That balance, he said, can shape the physical results people push so hard to achieve.

In his view, looking fit is only one part of the picture. If the mind is under stress, the body feels it too, even when everything seems fine on the outside.

Why people still stay silent

The conversation around mental health has changed for the better, according to Vijayendra. People are more open now than in earlier times. But the fear of being misunderstood still stops many from sharing what they are going through.

“Things are changing, but there is still a stigma attached to it,” he said.

How he blocks the noise

The Juhi Mui actor also shared the personal rules that help him stay steady in an industry full of public judgement. His approach is simple: do the job right and don’t measure himself only by the result.

• Don’t let praise or criticism get to your head.
• Don’t take success pressure too seriously.
• Focus on giving your best effort.
• Accept the outcome, whatever it is.

Vijayendra also said that public judgment is out of his control, so he doesn’t let negativity bother him. Instead, he embraces the positivity he receives and tries to meet the expectations of the industry and his fans.

His advice for anyone struggling

For those who are suffering silently, Vijayendra’s message is practical. Confide in people who are close to you, and don’t view therapy as taboo. He also suggested making yoga and meditation a part of daily activities rather than an occasional fix.

The takeaway for fans is bigger than one actor’s routine. Whether in front of the camera or not, good health includes how we handle pressure, judgement and expectations.
