India's Mental Health Conversation Has Shifted But Rural Barriers Persist: CEO Of Deepika Padukone's NGO
A watershed moment, according to Anisha Padukone, was in 2014 when her sister Deepika Padukone shared her personal battle with depression on national television India's mental healthcare remains deeply inadequate in rural and underserved areas despite a decade of growing awareness and policy reform, Anisha Padukone, sister of Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone and CEO of the mental health NGO LiveLoveLaugh, told News18 in an interview. Anisha told News18 that India has witnessed a 'significant shift" in how mental health is perceived and discussed, but warns that deeper systemic gaps must still be addressed. 'Studies undertaken by LLL and our experience on the ground show a significant shift in the perception of mental health in India over the last 10 years," she says. 'This change has been driven by a combination of increased awareness, advocacy, and policy reform." In fact, she says, there are encouraging signs to prove what was once a taboo subject has gradually become part of the public discourse. 'That said, stigma continues to be a significant barrier, particularly in rural India. Many still view mental illness as a personal failing rather than a health condition, which keeps people from seeking support." A watershed moment, she said, was in 2014 when Deepika Padukone shared her personal battle with depression on national television. 'That moment sparked a nationwide conversation and helped break the silence around mental illness… It also laid the foundation for the creation of The LiveLoveLaugh Foundation by Deepika in 2015, which I now lead." Even in urban India, she believes, mental health programmes in workplaces must go beyond tokenism. 'Benchmarking employee mental health benefits and workplace practices is crucial." Talking about the work done by her NGO, she believes that through public campaigns like Dobara Poocho and #NotAshamed, LiveLoveLaugh has tried to ensure mental health conversations cut across regions and class divides. But challenges remain. Policy Push and Gaps The Mental Healthcare Act of 2017 has been hailed as a landmark law, decriminalising suicide and mandating insurance parity. Yet, Anisha emphasises that 'the current budget allocation for mental health is insufficient to address the growing demand for care". 'Increased investment in resources, training, and infrastructure is needed. Professional standardisation is also needed, with a national body to regulate and certify mental health professionals to ensure individuals receive consistent and quality care." Anisha, who is a member of the World Economic Forum's Global Future Council for Mental Health, pointed out that the 'mental health services are concentrated in urban areas, leaving those in underserved regions with limited access". She believes that India needs a comprehensive national mental health strategy to ensure coordinated efforts and efficient resource allocation. 'Tele-MANAS is a great start," she says, referring to the government's multilingual counselling platform. 'But we need to move from awareness to systematic, well-funded, and culturally sensitive mental health systems." The Deepika Factor Deepika Padukone, who founded the foundation in 2015, remains closely involved with its work through awareness campaigns, rural mental health work, and fundraising, Anisha said. After her candid interview on national television in 2014, where she openly shared her own mental health journey, Deepika established the foundation in 2015, motivated by the belief that 'no life should be lost to mental illness". 'She remains deeply involved in shaping the Foundation's awareness campaigns, programme growth, advocacy efforts, and rural mental health work—regularly visiting communities to highlight the need for accessible care," she said, recalling that her sister has led initiatives such as Dobara Poocho and #NotAshamed, championed student well-being through platforms like Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Pariksha Pe Charcha, and brings her influence and cross-sector experience to drive the foundation's growth, including fundraising. What's next? Looking ahead, LiveLoveLaugh has three strategic goals: scale rural care, support mentally resilient workplaces, and push for policy and insurance reform. The foundation also hopes to galvanise CSR and philanthropic capital for scalable mental health programmes. 'Building on a decade of grassroots impact, LiveLoveLaugh will focus on expanding our model to thousands of rural communities," she says. top videos View all One of the more sobering takeaways is how cultural perceptions can delay or derail treatment. 'Mental health challenges are just as prevalent in rural areas," she says, 'but they're often compounded by supernatural beliefs or societal shame." Even so, she insists, interest in mental health is growing—everywhere. 'The need now is to bridge the gap by making mental health care more accessible, culturally sensitive, and grounded in the realities of rural life." tags : Actor Deepika Padukone Anisha Padukone mental health news18 specials Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: June 05, 2025, 10:22 IST News india India's Mental Health Conversation Has Shifted But Rural Barriers Persist: CEO Of Deepika Padukone's NGO

'Focus on things you can control': Bollywood star Deepika Padukone to students dealing with exam stress
Actor Deepika Padukone, who featured on the eighth edition of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Pariksha Pe Charcha programme on Wednesday shared her tips to tackle the exam stress and her success mantra in life. The Om Shanti Om actress has been open about her journey tackling anxiety and depression. In 2014, she founded the LiveLoveLaugh (LLL) foundation, which helps in creating awareness about mental health, reduces the stigma associated with mental illness, and provides credible mental health resources for the needy. During an interaction with students on the programme, Padukone told students: "Focus on the things you can control like, 'Am I prepared or not', that's in my control. Feeling stressed the night before? Talk to your parents about it. Talk to your teachers. Identifying the cause of stress and expressing it to somebody you trust. That could be one of the ways of dealing with stress. If I'm meditating or doing exercise. That's in my control." The actor also recalled her early school days and shared her affinity for extracurricular activities and sports events in school. "I was a very naughty child. I was always interested in extra-curricular activities... I used to get very excited for fashion, dance and sports day... I am fortunate that my parents didn't pressurise me for good marks... I want to tell the parents that they should recognise their child's potential." said Padukone. The actor also shared her success mantra with students. "One is clarity on what you want to do in life. Second, to have that conviction, that I am capable of doing this. I can do it. Will I fail along the way? Will I make mistakes? 100 per cent I will, it's not going to be smooth sailing. And most importantly, have fun," she said. Advocating mental health through the Pariksha Pe Charcha platform, the actor shared tips for a stress-free life. "First of all adequate sleep. Sleep is a superpower which is available free of cost. I think sleep is a part of good mental health. Adequate sunlight, going out to get some fresh air. To get some daylight can help with your mental health. Always reach out for help," she said. She called stress a 'natural' part of life while addressing the exam pressure on students. She asked the students to practice patience regarding the exams and results. She said, "We can only do what is in our control, we can sleep well, hydrate well, exercise and meditate..."
