Soshals app founder Kritarth Mittal shared a post on X in which he blamed “poor lifestyle choices” for a health issue that led to him being hospitalized. The 25-year-old founder was working hard, staying up late, sleeping less than five hours, and eating an unhealthy diet. As a result, Mittal ended up in a hospital due to his deteriorating health.
She shared the post to warn her followers about the ugly side of “hustle culture” and urged them to prioritize their health.
Mittal, who lives in Mumbai, shared her experience that she had never had severe symptoms before, but one day she found herself with “a really bad headache and experienced recurrent vomiting.”
Hustle culture comes at a cost: some are paid immediately and others over decades.The choice is yours, I’m just here to show you the ugly side of this so you don’t get easily influenced.

While sharing a photo of himself lying in a hospital bed, the founder of the Soshals app wrote: “Hustle culture comes with a cost – some incurred immediately and others over decades.”
“The choice is yours, I’m just here to show you the ugly side of this so you don’t get easily influenced,” he added.
Sharing his struggle, the founder wrote, “This is me after spending sleepless nights, sleeping less than 5-6 hours and not having any diet plan.”
The post is an acknowledgement by the entrepreneur for his unhealthy lifestyle, who then urged people who fantasize about hustle culture to take better care of themselves as they age.
How did Internet users react?
Several social media platforms expressed their good wishes.
One user shared his own experience and how he dealt with the problem and wrote: “Get well soon! Sometimes getting very involved in learning or work will help you for life, if you have learned it the right way. I went through the same thing, the book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” helped me find balance.”
While another user wrote: “Get well soon, Kritarth! I’ve learned this lately too, as much as effort is important, the same applies to personal health and family time 🙂 I’ve strictly reserved about 2-3 hours dedicated to self-care and family time; they can’t be redeemed for anything :).”
“Take care Bhai! Hope you stick to your routine from now on!” wrote a third user.
