Deepika Padukone thanks Karan Johar for opening up about his depression battle

Mumbai: Karan Johar recently revealed that he was suffering from depression for a period of almost two years. His father’s death almost 12 years ago, his fear of the future and of not being able to find a life partner and several other internal issues had led to his condition at that time. He even admitted to undergoing treatment for it and finally winning the battle against depression.

Admitting to depression is often considered a taboo and so Karan’s revelation is relevant. He perhaps would have drawn some inspiration from Deepika Padukone, who had also revealed about a similar phase of depression in her life some time ago. The actress has come out in support of Karan and thanked him for opening up about his condition.

The actress had even set up an organization, The Live Love Laugh Foundation, for mental health, after her revelation, and she took to Twitter thanking Karan and tagging her organization’s Twitter handle and even sharing the video where Karan reveals all on the handle.
