On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, Deepika Padukone visited Madhya Pradesh to mark a special milestone \u2014 10 years of her foundation, Live Love Laugh, which continues to play a vital role in spreading awareness and support for mental health across India.<\/p>\n

When asked if she ever thought she would have to pay a price for asking what she believes is fair, Deepika gave a deeply thoughtful response, one that resonated with her grace and integrity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have done this a many levels, this is not new to me I think even as pay is concerned you know I have had to deal with with whatever comes with you know I don\u2019t I don\u2019t even know what to call it but I am someone who always fought my battles silently and for some strange reasons sometimes they become public which is not the way I know and not the way I\u2019ve been brought up but yes to fight my battles and to do it silently and in a dignified way is the way I know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her words put into perspective not only her personal journey but also the larger industry conversations about fairness, equality, and dignity. True to her nature, Deepika continues to champion her causes \u2014 both on-screen and off \u2014 with remarkable calm, courage, and authenticity.<\/p>\n
