- Deepika Padukone opened up about her battle with depression in 2015.
- Many thought she was doing it to promote her movie or work with a pharmaceutical company.
- Deepika set up the Live Love Laugh foundation to promote mental health and lessen stigma.
When Deepika Padukone revealed in public that she had been diagnosed with depression in 2015, many questioned her, she recently recalled. The actor made the admission while speaking about mental health with Meghan Markle, a former actress and the Duchess of Sussex, on her podcast Archetypes.
In addition to talking about the stigma associated with mental illness, Meghan Markle complimented Deepika for the mental health foundation she established following her fight with depression. While many people were relieved when Deepika opened up about her mental health, some believed she was doing it to promote her movie or work with a pharmaceutical company, the actress said.
Deepika said, “For most of India, it felt like this huge burden lifted off their shoulders. That finally, someone acknowledged the fact that okay, there is such a thing as mental illness but with everything good that you do they’ll always be sort of that skepticism.”
