Deepika Padukone Reveals Her Motivation Behind Opening Up About Depression

Deepika Padukone is one of the most beautiful actresses in Bollywood. She has some really big releases lined up back to back.

Earlier, the actress had revealed to the world that she was suffering from depression and it took a lot from her mentally and personally to get out of that space. Due to this confession, the actor was subject to all sorts of judgements and criticism, So much so that Salman Khan took a jibe on the actress!

And now during a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Deepika opened up about why she chose to speak about her mental health in the first place. Quipped she, “Now, not a single day goes by that people aren't comfortable to talk to me about their mental health. And I give them my time. There's nothing more important than that, to listen. That in itself is an achievement for me and for the cause. That was really my motivation, to have people talk about mental health, the way we talk about our physical health."

The actress further went on to say, her mother was the one to bring her out of that phase. “"I didn't know why I would feel directionless. Why I felt like I didn't want to live anymore. Why I felt I wanted to give up everything. Why I would just break down or have bouts of anxiety or start sweating suddenly. I had no idea why any of it happened, and it was my mother who happened to catch me in one of these moments."
