When Piku star Deepika Padukone came forward and spoke about her depression, some stood by her side in support, while some called it a gimmick to grab attention and moved on, anyway the news created a lot of hype in the media and a wave all over the internet.
We heard what Deepika’s friends and colleagues from Bollywood had to say about Deepika’s revelation. We even heard her current alleged boyfriend Ranveer Singh gush about how strong Deepika is and how proud he feels. But we didn’t hear Deepika’s ex beau, Ranbir’s reaction on the issue and we wondered why. Well, now we know why! Apparently, Ranbir Kapoor had no idea about Deepika’s depression at all.
During an interview, Ranbir Kapoor was asked about Deepika’s fight with depression, to which he said that he had no idea at all but finds Deepika‘s brave move in coming forward to talk about it and trying to give a solution, a brilliant step. “I didn’t know about Deepika’s depression at all. I have no idea. It depends from person to person.
When an actor talks about something, you have to understand, they’re sometimes role models, they can inspire people. When an actor talks about something, it always has to come from the intention of wanting to improve somebody else’s life or mental health or problem or disability,” Ranbir said.
Ranbir also thinks that it’s important to not just speak about the issue, but also give a solution to it and when you’re giving a solution, then you’re doing something for society and helping them, if not, then talking about it is being sympathetic. The actor went further on and said that it is brilliant if you overcome your disability and fears and also inspire people with it.
Soon we’ll get to see Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone share screen space in Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha.
