Deepika Padukone has dealt with serious depression in her life and spoken about it as well. The actress had first admitted to being in depression in 2015 and had made sure to create awareness about the same ever since. In a recent interview with a publication, Deepika once again stressed upon her battle with depression and recalled how "every second was a struggle" for her.
During an interview with the magazine, she said, "The word that best describes my experience of depression is struggle. Every second was a struggle. I felt exhausted the whole time."
Deepika also went on to mention about Salman Khan's take on depression. Salman had earlier said during an interaction that he "can't afford that luxury of being depressed or sad or emotional." Salman had added, "No matter what I am going through, it works against me." Addressing Salman's views on depression, Deepika said, "People confuse it with being a bit sad. A male star said recently that he didn’t have the luxury to be depressed. As if depression is a choice!"
On the work front, the actress was last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat and will be next seen in Meghna Gulzar's Chhapaak and Kabir Khan's '83.
