Deepika Padukone was speaking at an event in Delhi when the waterworks started. The actress was recounting the time when depression drove her to almost end her life and all of a sudden, the tears flowed down her face. Deepika was still standing at the podium when she started tearing up.
“Two years back, my family had come to see me. They were about to leave and I was all alone in my bedroom, curled up. My mother walked in and asked if everything was okay, I said yes. She asked again if it was work or something else that was bothering me, I said no. She asked me so many times that I felt myself choking and I broke into tears,” said Deepika.
The Bollywood star then pointed to her mother, who was in the audience and said, “I want to tell my mother that if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be here. Thank you for being with me all through the way. Thank you to my sister, my father and friends who supported my immensely.” She was wiping the tears rolling down her cheeks, while she continued her speech.
It is rare to see the poised exterior of Deepika Padukone crack but the audience too became emotional as they heard the Bollywood star reveal her vulnerable side.
