✨ Another side of me — on screen.

Sometimes I’m a psychologist.
Sometimes I’m a listener.
And sometimes… I become a wife on screen, living an everyday love story 🎭

This branded short film by One Shot Film Productions let me explore
✨ acting
✨ emotion
✨ humour
✨ and the psychology of relationships

As an actor, I played a wife who feels seen again.
As a media psychologist, I deeply believe —
romance isn’t always about something new,
it’s about attention, familiarity, and emotional repair.

🎬 A simple sari.
💛 A thoughtful gesture.
🧠 A reminder: relationships thrive on meaning, not money.

Grateful to be part of stories that feel real, warm, and human.
Many roles. Many layers.
More to come 🌱

Honoured to be part of the Core Team 2026 of WICCI – Haryana Psychological Well-being Council (HPWC) as the Speaker Acquisition Officer.

In this role, I look forward to bringing together diverse voices, experts, and thought leaders in psychology, mental health, and allied fields to create meaningful conversations that can inspire awareness, learning, and real-world impact.

Curating powerful speakers and perspectives is not just about events — it is about creating spaces where knowledge meets empathy, and dialogue leads to change.

Excited to collaborate with an incredible team at WICCI to strengthen the dialogue around psychological well-being, community mental health, and accessible awareness initiatives through impactful sessions, workshops, and engagements across the year.

Looking forward to building insightful platforms, strong collaborations, and conversations that truly matter.

Honoured to be invited as a Panelist at the National Conference on Senior Citizens’ Welfare, organised under the initiative “Khyal Apne Buzurgon Ka (KAB)” by Daksh Foundation, in collaboration with Manav Rachna University.

It was a privilege to speak about the mental health of senior citizens—an often overlooked but deeply important dimension of aging. As India moves toward a rapidly aging population, conversations around dignity, emotional well-being, participation, and psychological support for elders are becoming more essential than ever.

Grateful to have shared this platform with such distinguished leaders including Dr. Hanif Qureshi, IPS, Sh. Rajesh Nagar (Hon’ble Minister, Government of Haryana), Mrs. Parveen Batra Joshi (Mayor, Faridabad), and Sh. Ashok Lavasa, IAS (Retd.), along with several policymakers, administrators, veterans, and experts working towards strengthening the ecosystem of elder care in India.

Meaningful dialogues like these are a reminder that aging must be supported not just through care, but through respect, rights, and psychological well-being.

✨ Honoured to be part of one of the biggest psychology gatherings of the year!

Spending a day with curious minds, passionate psychology students, and fellow experts — discussing the mysteries of the human mind beyond textbooks.

From decoding everyday behaviour to understanding deeper emotional patterns, it was truly inspiring to see so many young minds eager to learn, question, and grow.

Psychology becomes powerful when knowledge meets real-life application — and that’s exactly what conversations like these create.

Grateful to contribute, share insights, and connect with the next generation of psychology professionals. 🧠

Because understanding the mind is the first step toward healing, awareness, and change.

😄 Confession time…
Main kabhi-kabhi acting bhi kar leti hoon. Hehe 🎭
(Yes, therapist + actor energy is real.)

Throwback to a short film shot during the COVID lockdown —
with just a 3-member crew, limited resources, and unlimited intent.

🎬 Why this project mattered:
• Shot when the world had paused
• Focused on learning that never stops
• Built to help brands tell meaningful stories
• Proof that creativity survives even in confinement

📈 2,052 views — and still close to my heart.
This was one of my many creative sides.
More stories. More screens. More coming soon ✨

P.S.
If you blinked and missed the actor in me —
don’t worry, she’s warming up again 😉

📵 Modern Relationship Threat: Phubbing

You may not be fighting.
You may not be arguing.
But if you're constantly on your phone while someone is talking to you…

You’re slowly disconnecting.

Phubbing = Phone + Snubbing.
It happens when screen time replaces emotional presence.

🔎 Research shows:
• 1 in 5 relationships report phones as a major source of conflict
• Higher social media use is linked to lower relationship satisfaction
• Perceived partner phone addiction increases feelings of neglect and jealousy
• Lack of quality time impacts nearly 60%+ of couples

Why does it hurt so much?
Because our brain interprets divided attention as rejection.
When someone looks at their phone instead of you,your nervous system registers:
“I am not important right now.”

Over time, this creates:
• Emotional distance
• Reduced intimacy
• Increased insecurity
• More small conflicts

And the dangerous part?..... It feels normal.

🧠 Psychological Insight

Human bonding depends on:
• Eye contact
• Micro-expressions
• Attuned listening
• Physical presence

Screens interrupt all four.

Connection is built in moments of undivided attention —
not in parallel scrolling.

💛 3 Practical Repair Steps

1️⃣ Create a daily 30-minute No Phone Zone
2️⃣ During conversations, keep devices face down & silent
3️⃣ Replace bedtime scrolling with 5-minute emotional check-ins

Small rituals rebuild closeness.

Modern love doesn’t fail because of lack of feelings.
It fails because of lack of presence.

Put down the phone.
Pick up the connection.

🫟 HAPPY HOLI 🫟

Aaj ki apni Holi wali photo zaroor dekhna…
Story daalne se pehle ya baad mein.

Phir dheere se notice karna —
kaunsa color tum par sabse zyada chamak raha hai?

Ab ek kaam karna…
Google karna us color ka meaning.

Aur jo emotion saamne aaye…
us par thoda sa kaam karna.

Shayad wahi tumhara asli rang ho.

Tab hogi Asli Holi —
jab rang sirf chehre par nahi,
andar ke ehsaason se bhi match karein. 🌈

Because real celebration tab hoti hai…
jab outside aur inside ek hi shade mein ho. 💛

Love & Regards 🙏
Aastha Dhingra 😇

✨ Throwback to where it all started…

This was my very first video — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ecqCBS4FGo
made during the COVID lockdown, when fear was high and uncertainty everywhere.

No filters.
No big setup.
Just a simple message from the heart 👇

“Let’s come together in this fight against coronavirus.
Patience for a few days can protect us in the long run.
Stay home. Be aware. Be cautious.”

🎥 Shot at a time when
• the world had slowed down
• creativity found new meaning
• and responsibility mattered more than reach

Looking back, this wasn’t just content —
it was purpose-driven storytelling.

From awareness videos → short films → podcasts → conversations that matter
✨ this was the first step.

More work.
More stories.
More sides of me — coming soon 😉

Let’s all come together is this fight against corona virus. Let’s all learn from the countries that are still fighting to win the battle. Patience for a few ...

🌱 This podcast crossed 23,671+ views — and for a reason.

Because ageing is not just about growing old.
It’s about being understood.

In this episode, we talk about the real, often unspoken struggles of elderly people —
not from sympathy, but from psychological truth.

🎧 What makes this episode powerful?
• Declining health & emotional loneliness
• Financial dependence and loss of control
• Losing a life partner — and living with that silence
• The generation gap between parents & children
• Feeling left behind in a fast, tech-driven world
• And what children can do better — emotionally, practically, humanly

This podcast doesn’t blame.
It bridges.
Between generations.
Between intention and impact.

💭 If you are:
– a son or daughter
– a caregiver
– a professional working with elders
– or simply someone who wants to age with dignity
