Deepika Padukone is an advocate of mental health awareness and is extensively working towards de-stigmatizing mental illness. Ahead of World Mental Health Day, Deepika has a conversation with Olympic Gold Medallist Abhinav Bindra. On Saturday, Deepika shared a glimpse of her conversating on her Instagram profile.
Sharing the video, Deepika wrote, "The 2021 The Live Love Laugh Foundation Lecture Series featuring Abhinav Bindra. Releasing this World Mental Health Day. Stay Tuned."
In the video, Abhinav is seen recalling what his mother once told him. "She comes up to me and I was grumpy and almost in tears and she comes up to me and says, The most you could have won today was silver or bronze but you are gonna win a gold medal in 4 years time. I just shut up. 4 years later it actually happened so never argue with a mother's instinct," he said which left Deepika amazed.
