According to a survey conducted by Live Love Laugh, the World Health Organisation estimates that 20% of Indians may suffer from depression in their lifetime. Only 17 percent of people said they personally knew of someone with mental illness and only 2 percent of them admitted to suffering from it themselves.

During the launch of her foundation’s logo, Deepika had said, “I was fortunate to get the kind of support and through this platform I hope others get the same kind of help. My team and I are working hard to set up the foundation and the logo launch is a small step in that direction.”
