Making safe space for mental health

Deepika Padukone's father, Prakash Padukone, has revealed that the actor decided to launch her mental health foundation, The Live, Love, Laugh Foundation, after the death of a close friend. Speaking on ‘The Something Bigger Show with Rodrigo Canelas,' he said, "We had no objection at all to her going public if it was helping others, because she was in a position where she could help people. She told us, ‘I want to do something in the field of mental health'." Prakash said the family fully supported her decision, stressing that "mental health is a serious illness" that unfortunately continues to carry
a stigma.
