Deepika Padukone speaks about her foundation of live, love and laugh and also about the importance of caregivers and people suffering from mental illness.
In a recent interview ahead of world mental health day Deepika openly talks about her mental health and also gives importance to caregivers. She says,” In my case, for example, had my mother and the caregiver. Not identifying my symptoms, in my moment of vulnerability. Had she not had the presence of mind to tell me to or help me reach out to the professionals. I don’t know what state I would be in today. I think caregivers in general, whether it is mental illness or any other form of illness, it takes a toll on the caregiver.”

After this, she also shares her bad experience in Hollywood and says, “You are the scientist. You are a computer geek. You are the taxi driver. You are the therapist. You are the owner of a convenience store. I’ve had my fans ask me why I’ve not done more [global] movies. But that’s not what I’m settling for, because I am — and we are — so much more than that. It would upset me every time I went to the US. Some of the things that are said and some of the things that are done just [make it] so obvious that people don’t know the world outside of the world that they live in,” beyond business and fashion.
She also recalled an event one day and discuss the narrative of people there and says, “I know this actor… I met him at this Vanity Fair party, and he said ‘Hey, by the way, you speak English well.’ I didn’t even realise what that meant. And when I came back I said, ‘What do you mean you speak English well?’ Did he have this notion that we don’t speak English?’”
