Her disarming frankness has helped in creating awareness around mental health and destigmatizing it.
She has also been constantly busting the myth that depression is the malaise of the rich and successful.
Though the Padmaavat star didn’t directly take a jibe at him, she spoke about it an event without taking names. It seems like her quote was meant for Salman Khan.
“Depression is sometimes perceived as luxury... (But) It is important to break that myth.
