Deepika at a book launch today

Deepika Padukone is not just phenomenally talented but has looks that could kill. After having a great 2018, the star has stepped into the New Year looking forward to starring in Meghna Gulzar's film Chhapaak, where she plays an acid attack survivor. Now we hear that Deepika's battle with depression will be added in a children's book called The Dot That Went For A Walk. The book talks about the tales of 51 accomplished women and will introduce the concept of Women power in kids from an early stage.

Lakshmi Nambiar, Reema Gupta, and Sarada Akkineni have penned down the book and Deepika Padukone is expected to attend the book launch. Talking about including Deepika's story in their book, Lakshmi, co-author, told a leading daily, "From the acting community, Deepika emerged as a unanimous choice. When we dug deeper, we found that what inspired us about her is her honesty and willingness to talk about her vulnerabilities. By sharing her journey bravely with the world, she showed the younger generation that a healthy dialogue is needed as much on mental fitness as on physical fitness. Well, we congratulate Deepika for adding yet another feather to her cap.
