Padukone has been a vocal advocate for mental health and self-care. In 2020, she received Crystal Award at the World Economic Forum for her leadership in raising mental health awareness.


"With more than 300 million people suffering with the illness, depression is the leading cause of ill health and disability in the world today and a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease. It is therefore increasingly clear that, now more than ever before, we need to aggressively address what is an invisible and overlooked health and social burden. I am humbled and deeply honoured to be chosen for this year's Crystal Award and dedicate the award to the millions around the world who experience stress, anxiety and depression, and other forms of mental illness,” Padukone had said.


The actor on July 14 had also launched new initiative to provide assistance to frontline workers in overcoming mental health issues amid the coronavirus pandemic.


The actor, who battled and overcame depression a few years ago, said that through the initiative -- Frontline Assist -- the sale proceeds from the Deepika Padukone Closet' will go to NGO Sangath's dedicated COVID-19 well-being centre.



"Frontline workers have been the backbone of our country as we weather this pandemic. Having had a lived experience with mental illness, I understand the importance of emotional wellbeing, and as a mental health foundation, we are grateful to be able to contribute to the mental health of our country's frontline workers with 'Frontline Assist'," Padukone wrote in a post on Instagram.
