Deepika
Padukone,
who
is
an
internationally-known
and
respected
actress
of
Bollywood,
has
never
failed
to
leave
a
mark.
Be
it
making
a
fashion
statement
or
trying
to
inspire
people,
she
has
yet
again
made
a
bold
move
by
talking
about
her
story
of
fighting
depression
across
a
border.
In
an
interview
with
The
New
York
Times,
a
reputed
American
daily,
actress
Deepika
Padukone
spoke
about
mental
stress
and
the
loneliness
one
can
feel
even
when
there
are
a
lot
of
things
happening
around
them.
In
a
first-person
piece,
she
throws
light
on
how
according
to
World
Health
Organisation,
300
million
people
across
the
world
are
facing
the
same
challenge
silently
and
totally
unaware
of
the
fact
about
what
is
happening
to
them.
She
says,
"Only
a
person
close
to
you
like
your
mother
will
only
notice
such
things."
When
she
faced
a
similar
situation
a
few
years
back
in
her
life,
she
was
a
frontier
to
address
the
issue
and
came
up
with
the
foundation
called
'The
Live
Love
Laugh
Foundation'.
In
India,
where
mental
health
is
still
treated
as
a
taboo,
Deepika
Padukone
wants
to
remove
the
stigma
around
the
illness
and
urge
people
to
break
the
silence
about
their
stories
and
seek
help
if
required
to
come
out
of
this
situation.
Her
foundation
aims
at
spreading
awareness
via
various
mediums
It
is
so
inspiring
to
see
the
actress
address
this
issue
at
an
international
level
like
this.
