Sharing a light song after a heavy one.
This song would probably be an epitome of hope, with the kind of dreams SRK’s character has 
Chaand Taare Tod Laoon
Saari Duniya Par Main Chhaoon
Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai
Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai

Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It's not always gonna be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It's not always gonna be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day
Now the darkness only stays the night time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always gonna be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Don't worry, be happy - Bobby McFerrin
This seems like a simplistic mantra but then it does bring a smile, and happiness (& lack of it) is usually the motivator for our actions and consequent emotions.
An account of a survivor who lost almost everything and came back from it. Cries of desperate help were dismissed and trivialised by media back in the 2010s. Now the same media is using them to talk about the mistreatment of kids in the entertainment industry. There are many who can relate to YOUR story, if you decide to speak about it fearlessly 💛

Don't stop - Fleetwood Mac
The darkness is usually momentary. If we can somehow find something to hold on to to tide us over that nadir, that extreme low point, things can get better.
It could be this song --

If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Why not think about times to come
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
don't you look back
(Ooh) don't you look back
(Ooh) don't you look back
(Ooh) don't you look back

Lyrics
का चिन्ता करिशी, प्राण्या?
का चिन्ता करिशी?
नयनी गङ्गा, हृदयी काशी
का चिन्ता करिशी?
Kā cintā kariśī, prāṇyā
Kā cintā kariśī?
Nayanī Gaṅgā, hṛdayī Kāśī
Kā cintā kariśī?
Why do you worry, breathing animal?
Why do you worry?
Gaṅgā in eyes, Kāśī in heart
Why do you worry?
दो पायावर रचतो सुन्दर
देहाचे जो मङ्गल देउळ
तोच चालवी अपुले पाउल
का मागे बघशी?
Do pāyāvara raçato sundara
Dehāçe zo maṅgala deuḷa
Toça çālavī apule pāula
Kā māge baghaśī?
Who designs on two feet, the body's
Beautiful and auspicious temple
Only he propels our footsteps
Why do you look back?
घर हे सुटता, नाते तुटता
जगही झाले जरी पारखे
सुखदुःखहि रे तुला सारखे
का डोळे पुसशी?
Ghara he suṭatā, nāte tuṭatā
Jagahī zhāle zarī pārakhe
Sukha-duḥkhahi re tulā sārakhe
Kā ḍoḷe pusaśī?
This home slipping, relation snapping
Even if the world too has become strangers
Comfort and pain are perpetual for you
Why do you wipe your eyes?
चन्द्र हासरा गोड मुखाचा
रसाळ वाणी अमृताची
प्रेमळ दृष्टी तुझ्या मनाची
देव तुझ्यापाशी
Candra hāsarā goḍa mukhāçā
Rasāḷa vāṇī amṛtācī
Premaḷa dṛṣṭī tujhyā manācī
Deva tujhyāpāśī
The smiling Moon of sweet face
The juicy words of immortality
The loving gaze of your mind
God is with you
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), or body dysmorphia, is a mental health condition where a person spends a lot of time obsessing about flaws in their appearance. It can further manifest into eating and other disorders due to the person trying to 'fix' it. Other people may not be able to see the things one perceives as flaws, but as a result, people have psychological distress that interrupts everyday life. It is also a known reason for teenage suicides. Everyone is beautiful in their own ways, we should help them embrace it 🤎

Rabindranath Tagore initially wrote "Ekla Chalo Re" in 1905 in the Bengali language. Later, he translated it into English. The title translates roughly as "If they do not answer your call, walk alone." The song is regarded as an anthem for nonviolent resistance and self-reliance, and it is frequently associated with Mahatma Gandhi's non-cooperation campaign during the Indian independence struggle.
"Ekla Chalo re" song with Bengali Lyrics and English Translation, along with some quotes from Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore.

Songs that fit the theme according to your interpretation. Spreading love, giving hope, reminding others they are not the only ones to feel a certain way 🩶
Let me try...
Song: Hain sabse madhur woh geet
Film: Patita (1953)
Music: Shankar-Jaikishen
Lyrics: Shailendra
Singer: Talat Mehmood
This song's opening verse is inspired by Shelley's poem 'Ode to a Skylark' whose lines
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought
Shailendra almost literally translated as:
Hai sabse madhur woh geet jinhe hum dard ke sur mein gaate hain
Jab hadh se guzar jaati hai khushi, aansoo bhi chalakte aate hain.
To me the words that leap out and spell hope in this song are:
Jab gham ka andhera ghir aaye
samjho ke savera door nahi
when the darkness (of sorrow) surrounds you the most, know that the light (morning) isn't too far away.
Beautiful song and the picturization with Dev Anand caressing Usha Kiran's hair as she lays her head on his lap and weeps, is so gently reassuring.
