Top heroine dares to admit her mental illness

For common audiences, our heroines are glamour dolls who seem to be healthy and hale who are above the weaknesses and illness we face as a matter of fact in our lives. Though they too suffer frailities, any top heoine coming out in open to accept her weaknesses is out of question because they like to keep the fake reel image alive in the minds of audience.

But Deepika Padukone is different and there had been instances when we saw her speaking her mind keeping her on screen image at stake. Nevertheless, her confession always won her brownie points. This time she talked about one of the lean phases in her life which she faced recently. She was then suffering from anxiety and depression and she had to take the help of a psychiatrist to overcome the mental illness.

This happened during the time when she was shooting for her last release ‘Happy New year’ climax scene. And the psychiatrist had to fly from Bengaluru to Mumbai to diagnose the reason for her state of panic attacks. Being on the top seems to be very glamorous. But to handle the throne has its share of thorns. That’s what Deepika’s confession reveals.
