DEEPIKA PADUKONE'S BRAVE PUBLIC CONFESSION: Watching Deepika Padukone speak of her very personal battle with depression on television, in front of a live audience, one can’t help but applaud the talented young star for her brave attempt at destigmatizing mental health issues. As one of the highest paid actresses in Bollywood today, Padukone has a lot to lose by laying bare her scars for the world to see. Yet, the with little hesitation and wearing her vulnerability on her sleeve, she shared the story of her struggles with Amitabh Bachchan while appearing on the Indian game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, hoping to raise funds for her Live Love Laugh foundation to help others like her. Bachchan perhaps spoke on behalf of many of us watching the episode at home, encouraging Padukone to share her story with the world and help others like her to step out of the shadows.
