Kritharth Mittal, founder of the socials app, shared a post on X where he blamed ‘poor lifestyle choices’ for the health scare that led to his hospitalisation. The 25-year-old founder was working hard through the night, getting less than five hours of sleep and eating unhealthy food. As a result, Mittal had to be hospitalized after his health deteriorated.
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 his experience that he had never had any serious symptoms before, but one day he experienced ‘a real headache and frequent vomiting.’
Bustling culture comes with costs — some to you immediately and some over decades.The choice is yours, I’m just here to show you the ugly side of it so you don’t get carried away so easily.

Sharing a photo of himself lying in a hospital bed, the founder of the Soshals app wrote, “Hostel culture comes with a price – some you have to bear immediately and some in decades.”
“The choice is yours, I’m just here to show you the ugly side of it so you don’t get carried away easily,” he added.
Sharing her hustle, the founder wrote, “Here I am after an all-nighter, <5-6 hours of sleep, and no diet plan."
The post is an admission of his unhealthy lifestyle by the entrepreneur who then urges those who fantasize about hustle culture to take better care of themselves as they age.
How did netizens react?
Several social media platforms wished him well.
A user shared his experience and how he dealt with this problem and wrote, “Get well soon! Getting too involved in learning/working at times, will help you throughout your life. If you do it right. I’ve been through the same thing, the book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” helped me find balance.
While another user wrote, ‘Get well soon Kartarath! Recently I’ve also learned, as much as hustle is important – the same goes for personal health and family time 🙂 I’ve strictly saved a few 2-3 hours dedicated to personal care and family time – this Can’t be traded for anything :).
“Take care bro, hope you stick to the routine from now on!” A third user wrote.
