Monday Motivation: First of all take care of yourself. Love yourself. Because if there is something most important for you in the world, it is you yourself. There are many people around you who will definitely love you selflessly, no matter what happens. Prepare yourself for them and yourself because life has many colors. Many of them are very beautiful. To see life from this perspective, you must know this story of Deepika Padukone.
Deepika went through a very bad phase. But he faced it and presented a new success story which is in front of you. Deepika started seeing only negativity in her life. She had become such a victim of depression that many times she even had suicidal thoughts. So let us know about those things related to Deepika’s courage which are a lesson for you.
Why should you listen to Deepika’s story?
Actually, Deepika had openly talked about her depression in an NDTV program many years ago. He also said this because people live in hesitation regarding mental problems and do not talk about it openly.
Deepika had shown an example of courage
Deepika had told about her mental problem during the interview that she was facing depression around 2013 and 2014. That means Deepika had become a superstar by then. Not one but many of his big films had come out and the audience and critics had started appreciating them. From his first film Om Shanti Om, to Love Aaj Kal, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ramleela and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, many films made him a superstar.
In this interview, Deepika had admitted that for a celebrity like her, telling about her problems publicly could have been harmful for her. Many people had also refused him. But still she took this decision because she does not want anyone else to face the problem she faced. It is clear that it is his passion that without worrying about his image, he decided to come forward for the people struggling with such problems.
What did Deepika tell?
Deepika had told that one day suddenly I woke up and felt empty. I couldn’t understand what happened to me. One day when my parents were going back to Bangalore to meet me, I suddenly started crying. Mother asked me what happened. But I didn’t have an answer. Mother understood that I was suffering from depression. Deepika told that her mother helped her to get out of this depression. Deepika told that one moment she used to happily go to functions, shoots and other works, but the next moment she started feeling lonely. And to hide from all this, she never wanted to wake up from sleep.
When Deepika started the second innings without finishing the first innings
Deepika had become a superstar. Despite being a victim of depression, she not only came out of it but also started her second innings. And in this innings she came out even brighter. After that, he added such great films to the Bollywood account like Padmavat, Bajirao Mastani, Piku and Tamasha, which people would love to watch even after years.
In the year 2017, she got another big achievement and for the first time she was seen opposite Vin Diesel in the second part of the big Hollywood franchise film XXX. Deepika has also been awarded the Best Actress Award for many of these films. In the coming days, Deepika is going to be seen in the second part of ‘Brahmastra’, Fighter and ‘Kalki 2898 AD’.
The problem of depression swallows millions of lives every year around the world.
According to the data available on the website of the World Health Organization, by the year 2015, the number of people suffering from depression was more than 30 crores. That means around 5 percent of the total population of the world. And this is a number which is just fed into the data. According to the information given here, around 15 percent of the people aged 18-49 years in India are suffering from depression. Apart from this, the figures given here related to suicide across the world due to this are quite scary. This number is more than 8 lakhs. Therefore, if there is someone around you who is struggling with such a problem, then help him.
Be positive and tell yourself whatever happens will be seen.
Put some pressure on your mind and think that something like this must have happened to you at some point of time, due to which you might have wondered what will happen next? Like you might have faced failure at different levels. Sometime in your childhood, you might have broken a glass and you might have thought that your mother or father would scold you for this. Or perhaps your marks may have been less due to which you may have been disappointed. Or maybe you might not have passed an interview. Or it could also be possible that someone very special might have left you and gone away.
But if you look back once from where you are today, you will clearly understand that it was not such a big deal. What I mean to say is that whatever is making us very sad in the present, in reality, one day that too becomes a thing of the past. And after some time it appears to be a temporary problem. It is not that challenges do not come in life. It is possible that even today there may be something in front of you which is troubling you. But, give yourself a moment and ask yourself, what is the problem with this? There is nothing in the world that does not have a solution. Then see whether your problem goes away or not. And remember this story of Deepika, what kind of battle she has fought. You will see that you will be filled with energy.
