Anisha Padukone discusses how she was not fully aware of sister Deepika Padukone’s depression in 2014, saying she did not understand what Deepika was going through at the time. In interviews, Anisha explains that part of her lack of awareness was practical: the sisters did not live in the same city, which limited day-to-day insight into Deepika’s mental health. She describes the experience as a learning moment that shaped her own thinking and later approach to mental well-being.
Anisha also links the reflections to a broader commitment to mental health awareness. The coverage notes that Deepika has publicly championed mental health initiatives through her foundation, and Anisha’s comments align with the idea that these experiences have strengthened her support for conversations around mental health and recognizing symptoms earlier.
Across the reports, the common theme is Anisha’s candid acknowledgment that she did not notice or correctly interpret signs during Deepika’s depression phase, and how that gap in understanding becomes part of her continued advocacy for mental health awareness.
