Bollywood hunk Hrithik Roshan, who fronts a new campaign
#EverydayHeroes, which rejoices real life people who have bravely spoken up,
overcome prejudices and biases against mental illnesses and sought help, tells
he is proud of Deepika Padukone who opened up about her struggle with
depression despite her celeb status.
Hrithik also lately spoke about a phase when he dealt with
depression.
Hrithik reveals on his struggle with depression, “Mental
health is important. We all know that, but when it comes down to talking about
matters like depression or OCD or anxiety, I feel people find it difficult to
seek help even if it is from a close friend, because of a wrong
presumption that it is weakness or the person's fault or that it makes them
less in some form. This stigma needs to be destroyed.”
When asked about own vulnerability empower you to help
others, Hrithik reveals, “Being vulnerable makes us humane. It's our
vulnerabilities that make us human. I am proud of Deepika Padukone, who so
courageously came forth.”
Hrithik told on association with the campaign to celebrate
Everyday Heroes, “This is a topic where I would invite more people to get
involved since it is relevant to each one of us. If by my presence, the message
reaches out to a few more people, I will be happy.”
