During a candid chat with us, Girija Oak Godbole, who is also considered as a new national crush of the country, revealed that the cost for a therapy session is very high. However, there are some services that give it free. Girija Oak Godbole said, “A lot of people say that taking therapy is a decadent habit of the rich. To some extent I understand this point because the cost for therapy is very high. It is very expensive. 80 per cent of people in our country survive on daily or weekly wages.

I guide them to go to the right place if they are seeking therapy.” Talking about Girija Oak, her latest web series, Perfect Family, also stars Gulshan Devaiah, Neha Dhupia, Manoj Pahwa and Seema Pahwa in key roles.
