Deepika Padukone has appointed psychologist Anna Chandy as the trustee of her foundation Live Laugh Love.
Dr Chandy had diagnosed the actress with depression and helped her overcome it with counselling sessions in Bangalore and Mumbai.
The Happy New Year actress was supposed to kick off Live Laugh Love on March 21- which coincides with the same day last year when she decided to seek professional help for depression. But since the legal procedures have not been completed yet, the foundation will start services only next month. The private body will be headquartered in Mumbai with an operational arm on the outskirts of Bengaluru.
When contacted, Dr Chandy said, “The legal formalities are still being worked out. In 10 days, we should be in a position to make some announcement.”
Deepika had surprised the industry when she opened up about her illness earlier this year. The positive confession got her plenty of positive feedback, which encouraged her to start her own foundation.
