Used to sleep in the cab with suitcase

Deepika had to face many challenges when she came to Mumbai during modeling. Deepika says- I came alone to a new city. I only had my bag, and I kept wandering here and there with it. I used to work late nights and go everywhere in cabs with a suitcase. Many times I used to sleep in the same cab.

Her Bollywood debut film ‘Om Shanti Om’ was made with Shahrukh Khan, which was one of the big hits of 2007 and Deepika became a star. During this time he had to face many challenges. His accent and dialogue delivery were ridiculed, his acting skills were questioned and the pressure of being an outsider remained.

Deepika Padukone had told in an interview given to India TV – When my film ‘Om Shanti Om’ was released, people made fun of my accent and diction. It was very hurtful for me, and it was not easy to hear such things at that time. In many reviews, questions were raised on my acting, accent and even talent. I was also trolled, and this left me mentally disturbed.

Don’t let negativity dominate you

Deepika says- At that time I felt that people were not happy with my performance or I had been written off. I could break down, get discouraged, or say I can’t do it anymore. But I did not let that negativity dominate me.

A bad review inspired me to work on myself. I believe negativity can be good too – it depends on how you take it.

Overcame difficult times and made his place in the industry

Within a few days I realized that I was in depression.

Battle in loneliness, did not talk to anyone

I didn’t tell anyone. I lived alone in Mumbai and was breaking down inside. For many days I would cry, I didn’t feel like living and everything seemed empty. I didn’t talk to anyone.

Patience broke in front of mother, recognition started

When my mother came to Mumbai and started going back, I could not stop myself and cried in front of her. Then they realized that something was wrong. After this I came to know that it was depression and I started taking therapy. Initially I kept it hidden, but gradually I realized that it was important to talk about it.

New path after therapy through ‘Live Love Laugh’

During depression I started ‘Live Love Laugh Foundation’. Understanding my pain, I decided to help people suffering from depression. I opened the foundation so that help can reach such people. I shared my experience with the people coming here, so that they too can overcome it.
