Depression could be a very long battle. It is an inner conflict, something that is difficult to describe in words. A sinking, dark feeling just takes the happiness out of you. Going through something like this is taxing on any individual.
But, it all requires will power and fighting spirit to come through it. Deepika Padukone, one of the elite actresses in Bollywood, went through all of this and but came out stronger.
“Two years ago I struggled with depression. I was sinking,” Deepika Padukone revealed. “I almost gave up. But it was the athlete in me that gave me the strength to fight and never ever give up!”
Deepika, who is currently looking forward for her debut Hollywood venture xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, revealed what helped her in coming out of depression, and what his father Prakash Padukone advised her.
“Every girl and every boy and every woman and every man, play a sport,” Deepika said. “Because it changed my life and it will change yours too. Sport has taught me how to survive. It has taught me how to fight! It has made me unstoppable.”
“When I was growing up my father said to me, “To be the best, always remember the three D’s – Discipline, Dedication and Determination. Follow your heart. Do what you are passionate about.”
