HSY or Hassan Sheheryar Yasin is a well renowned Pakistani Fashion Designer, born to the politically active Arain family.
He’s made a name for himself in the fashion industry and continues to impress the public with his unique sense of fashion and style.
The Lux Style Award winner for Best Menswear Designer recently did an online session with Osman Khalid Butt on Instagram Live.
The two of them talked about various different topics from the pros and cons of talking to the fans amid this lockdown to the effects this situation has on their mental health.
During the emotional conversation, HSY opened up about losing two of his friends aborad to the COVID-19 outbreak. He mentioned one of those friends was in New York.
The conversation took this emotional turn when Osman Khalid Butt mentioned the lockdown taking a toll on his mental health. He mentioned that it is particularly tough for people who are used to working hard. He said,
I started beating myself lately for not taking up the opportunities I could when I had the time. When the lockdown began I wanted to be productive at home but now it’s getting to me. People who work hard really need to take it easy on themselves because this situation is not normal. We are under a lockdown and it’s okay to be depressed.
To which HSY added,
Everyone has been talking about the same, I spoke to Shehryar Munawwar and Mawra Hocane the other day and both of them were tired of the negativity, the negative comments of the public and for not being able to work.
He then continued on to explain how everyone needs to be kind to not only others but also themselves. He explained how nobody knows what the other person might be going through.
This is when the designer shared the loss of losing two of his friends with the viewers, he said,
I also lost two of my friends from coronavirus, one of whom was New York and no one knows. But its pointless talking about that with anyone here. But all these people not taking the situation seriously and pulling others down need to stop.
Hassan Sheheryar also shared a little exercise that was taught to him by his sister. He claims this exercise helps him calm down in a situation that invokes stress.
It’s the rule of five. I count five things around me that I can see, four things around me that I can hear, three things around me that I can feel, two things around me that I can smell and one thing that I can taste. Once I do this I feel calmer and more grateful.
