Deepika Padukone Instagram – “We should afford the same honesty and authenticity to characters with mental illnesses as we do to biopics. If #MentalHealth is depicted in the right way, it can have far-reaching consequences for a country like India, where the conversation around mental health has only just begun.” A lot of the credit for the sensitive portrayals of mental health in mainstream Hindi cinema can be attributed to #DeepikaPadukone (@deepikapadukone). At the link in bio, Vogue India’s May cover star talks to journalist Faye D’Souza (@fayedsouza) about how impactful #Bollywood can be when used for good.
