it. “Mental illness happened to me when I had least expected it. I was at a professional high, my movies were doing great and I was in an amazing relationship. Everything was going just perfect. One morning when I woke up and I felt all was well, I fainted. Luckily the house help came and saw me on the floor. I was taken to a doctor and I was told it was nothing and probably just some blood pressure fluctuation or something like physical tiredness. Those were the first physical signs. For a long time, I just felt like sleeping, not going out, not meeting people” she said at the event.
She also revealed that it was her mother, Ujjala Padukone, who had advised her to get professional help. “Luckily, my mother had come to my place and when my parents were packing, I just started crying. She asked me what was it and I had no answer. At that time, my mother told me that I probably needed professional help and that’s how I began consulting a psychiatrist” Deepika said.
“After I was diagnosed with a clinical depression regarding my mental health, I had to even lie when someone asked me how was I doing. I would say, I’m great, though I was actually terrible,” she further added.
she won an award in Switzerland for her live love laugh foundation that why she is talking about it, she isn't randomly mentioning it, this quote is from the interview that she had there, they were asking her about her experience with depression
Wohi Switzerland jiska Tourism Ambassador Ranveer Singh Hai? Interesting.
If I have watched the right video, she said this while receiving the crystal award in World Economic forum for her foundation LLL. She was being awarded for LLL so she explained what motivated her to start the foundation. Her depression story may or may not be true, but she was not speaking out of context here just to repeat a sob story.
Not a fan of her, but I observed she gets bashed even for breathing here

Thats not the issue. the issue is the victim mind-set that this woman has. everything is always SOMEONE ELSES fault. She's been doing this since her debut, always portraying herself as a victim feel sorry for me but touch me not

Yeah I know the outrageous PR activity she is (in)famous for. Neither do I support it.
But just in this case, she was telling what she was supposed to. So bashing her for this seems pretty pointless, at least to me.
