It is appalling and shocking to see so many victims come out in open and talk about sexual harassment irrespective of their status and the field they belong in. In the wake of the #metoo movement which is slowly gaining momentum in India with some horrific incidents being highlighted, Deepika Padukone has raised an important point here. Deepika Padukone Is Ready to Conquer Hearts With Her Million Dollar Smile - View Pics.

We all know that she was suffering from clinical depression back in 2014 and hence started an initiative to help those facing similar issues. Now, in the wake of the #metoo movement, we are sure there are innumerous other women and men, who still haven't spoken up about their encounters and might still be in mental pain because of the experience. So, the actress has asked all those suffering from depression and any sort of mental illness to come forward and seek help. In a video shared on social media, Deepika asked people to call out for help by using the hashtag NotAshamed (#NotAshamed). Here, check out the video below-

There are a lot of people out there trying to fight these demons within them every moment, every day and Deepika's Live Laugh Love foundation helps people battling the grave illness. So, if you are someone who is facing a similar issue or know someone who is in dire need of help, you know what's to be done. It's a indeed a great initiative, Deepika!
