Bollywood ‘Dimpled Beauty’ Deepika Padukone will start a foundation to promote mental health care on March 21.
The foundation will be named as “The Live Love Laugh Foundation”.
March 21 was finalised as this was the day that she decided to seek
professional help last year.
The ‘Happy New Year’ actress, who herself suffered from depression
for a brief period last year, came out and spoke about it, for which she
received a lot of support. It was then, that she realised that mental
health issues are quite common but barely anything is being done to
prevent these issues. And since she herself suffered, she wants to work
towards improving the mental health scenario in our country.
Deepika Padukone has been working towards the cause along with a team
of doctors and psychiatrists. The name has been registered and while
other details have yet to be finalized.
Although she has a packed schedule, Deepika is making time to
understand the situation and is working towards it. She has decided to
take up this common yet taboo issue and is dedicating 2015 to create
mental health awareness.
