Feel so bad that such positive initiatives are being taken into the negative limelight...A person can't even do good in this world anymore. But all the power to Deepika. :-) Sometimes what you really want to say and convey doesn't come out in the proper context.

Good? 😆

A person can't even milk social causes irresponsibly anymore.

She proved actors are mostly attention seekers and have little foresight, little judgement to select scripts, little knowledge of actual issues and barely any knowledge about their audience and country.

No negative limelight is there. The negative impact and criticism are real.

That's her and her team's problem. Accept mistake than play pity games now.

Yeah power to Deepika.

Let's see which issue she mocks in her attention seeking spree next. I am wary of these filmi bhands taking in serious issues now.

Cutiepierani you give yourself too much importance stop talking to yourself in your self made threads. Its our choice to respect or disrespect who we want. They are celebrities not gods. Deepika doesn't make me want to respect her so if I dont do puja of her I am bad? you respect her good for you but if I dont respect her dont start the the world is so cruel emo drama. 😆

yep... I mean I recall PC going back 2 work after her dad's death and in an interview she did say people were like how can u return 2 work so soon but she said she had 2 becos staying at home was just making it difficult for her... she needed to escape from it and work was her "escape" route. I know these situations are different from what deepika experienced...but the point im trying to make is that not everyone in their low phase decide to stay alone...some escape that low feeling by being among people while others prefer to be left alone... people deal with things differently... and just becos she's not shown it to the world doesn't mean she never felt it... look at what Princess Diana went through...could anyone ever have thought the woman that made everyone smile was actually tortured to the extent she was and was the most unhappiest person? so I don't agree with those that say its difficult to believe she was in a depression just becos she was out and about smiling in front of cameras...becos being who she is... a lot of the time u have to hide ur inner feelings and thoughts...


Maybe you don't know this but everyone was well aware of Lady Dy's suffering. Her eyes were the biggest giveaway & the fact that she found solace in charity work. Plus she never hid it, which got her flack from her inlaws. If the monarchy is less of a myth, it is all due to her. She humanised them.
These two are not comparable, Deepika for all her success & pressures has not experienced even half of the public scrutinity & expectations, the way Lady Dy had to. In fact, no celeb comes remotely close. The ones who might be able to understand a little bit of it are Sharmilaji & Aishwarya.

Not my place to judge Deepu dearest if she was depressed or not, but if she hated the person she has become & couldn't rejoice in her success, maybe it also has to do with all the things she chose to do to get the ever so elusive No1 Heroine tag.
There is that saying: be careful what you wish for... it might not be what you expected.
Either way i wish her well, but she has to change the way she is fighting for her place in Bwood. It is not doing her any good, if she ends up hating the image she created for herself. It is already becoming her prison.

I respect her ,cause of her continues intervention in social issues. She is not goddess, that's why she makes mistakes but I believe in the following quote of Bernard Shaw A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. I am glad that she is not playing safe and is not faking a good girl image.

Issues are not something to be played around with.
Your idol can choose something else and make as many mistakes as she likes.

Same for other Bollywood stars.

These people have immense power and resources. Their statements don't go unnoticed. They have to see if their image building exercises don't harm actual causes.

The GBS quote doesn't apply to something as serious as social issues. This lady can keep doing what she knows best, modelling and acting. If she wants to dabble in social causes then better update herself and use brain.

Till then, spare us please.

I wanted to steer away from essays, but seems like I'll be writing one today.

@ dhartiamber - First of all, sweetheart, this is a thread I created for a positive purpose. It is up to me whether I want to write in it or not. I have the freedom to post in this thread at my own will. And if you think that's giving importance to myself, honestly I don't care. I'm free to post in any thread I want, whenever I want. Free forum.


@ atominis - I think by now everyone knows that right now you're utter dislike for these causes it at its max. Its evident from your posts. And it seems like you have the utter most disgust and dislike for Deepika as a person. Fair enough you have your own opinions. No one thinks alike and no one has the same mind-sight. But some of your comments seem more like 'hate' comments. People try to do good and your label them as 'fake.' Of course you're only going to think negatively because a top star is trying to stand up for these causes. From what you're saying it even seems like you think this whole depression stuff is all her 'natak.' Its really sad that people would even think that. (Forgive me if that's not the case). If a normal not so famous person started something, no one would ever have a problem. But the moment a celebrity takes for a good cause everyone will say they are doing it for publicity and there is no genuine feeling behind the cause. But don't you think even if a cause is done for publicity and it helps even one person, there is something that came good out of it? Maybe you don't think so. But I believe so. We can only assume what goes on in a celebrity's life. Neither of us, not you nor I, know these people for real. But I guess what I'm trying to say is that if something helps even 1 person, then I'll all for it.


As for her depression. Millions of people suffer from this ailment. And sometimes it takes a known figure who has gone through the same come forward and talk about it. Maybe that will encourage people who are suffering to actually seek help and not just bare the consequences on their own. Depression can lead to suicide. And in a country like India, that is huge. I think it is cheap to 'fake' about such an important issue when it affects millions of lives. A lot of people are under the misconception that someone who has everything going for them cannot be depressed. Her mom, doctor, psychiatrist all are witnesses to her depression. That's a cheap ass publicity stunt and I think above everything Deepika is human enough not to make it that. She's a wise girl and I genuinely believe that.


Deepika by no means is my idol nor and I am Deepika fan girl like some claim me to be. People can think whatever they want, but only I know the truth. But just like everyone I have a strong opinion on these important causes. Just like you do as well. It feels like you want to attack those indirectly who disagree with your viewpoints. Still you are a lot better than some of the members who bluntly just attack every opinion against their own. These issues and causes are without a doubt debatable ones.


Also, celebrities are humans first and then celebrities. They are prone to making mistakes. They are not God. They are not perfect. There are imperfections with each and every soul, every human being. So what if she's a celebrity? Mistakes happen. Also, sometimes the true message you want to get across doesn't get across in the way you would have thought it to. Everyone behind the #MyChoice video probably never thought it would receive such a backlash because when they made it their mindset, their thinking, their philosophy was different. And honestly, whether you agree or not, Sushmita Sen said it best. It's sad that for one or two lines, the entire video and the entire cause was pushed behind all the negative feedback. And with videos like this debates are bound to happen. That's life.


I think I've said enough to try and get my viewpoint forward. You probably won't agree. Neither will your supporters. Its a free world. And like the new bandwagon goes...#mychoice, #yourchoice! Cheers.

Contrary to what a fan like you would believe, I am not a hater.

Fans are funny. They think everyone else is either a fan or hater. Though it is not always so.

I posted against the video and DPad and her team because of the adverse impact that stupid video had on both causes of mental health and woman empowerment.

I take causes more seriously than any celeb. And I observed reactions, this is why I wrote what I did.

There are many sites and groups beyond filmi ones you see.

A celebrity is a businessperson and how genuinely they do something good is evident. I would believe their intention had they used more foresight and had their work reflected actual awareness and knowledge.

Aamir was always criticised till he came up with better researched stuff in SMJ. He still gets feedback and thankfully he uses it to improve the content of next season, which is good.

You cannot excuse them as normal human beings and excuse blunders. They are professionals and famous. They have to be more responsible.

If you cannot even understand the real reasons for criticism and cannot look beyond fan/hater then it's your choice.

I know about depression. Very well. I have studied psychology so I do not require lecture from you or D Pad. This issue has been discussed by many channels in India earlier and also by celebs including Aamir Khan.

But you focus only on Deepika. Fine. I have nothing against it. I am only talking about how that video and timing of release of both videos harmed both causes. It's not like everything is ruined but it did act as a ditch in middle of the road.

Therefore I am wary of celebs who endorse causes or speak out without knowledge, awareness and foresight.

Deepika is smart in terms of how she handled her career. But not smart as a wannabe social activist.

You're acting as if Homi and DPad did something great and those poor souls knew nothing about their script and audience and got victimised by haters.

There has been a mistake and it has had a negative impact. They and apologists better accept that than play victim card.

This controversy was a textbook lesson in what NOT to do. It's already being dissected in media studies forums as a campaign that backfired, an example of communication failure.

I hope celebs learn not to hop from cause to cause without first exercising judgement.

You keep calling me hater or put forth any accusations as you like. I'm least bothered. I'm not a filmy devotee.
😆
