Deepika Padukone's life story in battling depression has been included in the upcoming children's book, The Dot That Went For A Walk (Mid-Day)
Written by Lakshmi Nambiar, Reema Gupta and Sarada Akkineni, this book tells stories of 51 accomplished Indian women, including Deepika, Indira Gandhi, Kiran Bedi and Rani Laxmibai
"We zeroed in on the 51 names by asking our daughters and their friends who their role models were. From the acting community, Deepika emerged as a unanimous choice." - Author Lakshmi Nambiar
"When we dug deeper, we found that what inspired them about her (Deepika) is her honesty and willingness to talk about her vulnerabilities." - Author Lakshmi Nambiar
"By sharing her journey bravely with the world, she (Deepika) showed the younger generation that a healthy dialogue is needed as much on mental fitness as on physical fitness." - Author Lakshmi Nambiar
Author Sarada Akkineni tells that Deepika was insightful and forthcoming while discussing her chapter in the year-long course of developing the book
"We interacted with Deepika for our story. She will be present at our book launch." - Author Sarada Akkineni
