My team supported me during my depression: Deepika Padukone

When the storyline of a new brand’s ad film was being developed, its team decided to take inspiration for Deepika Padukone’s real life.

Film stars’ personal lives often remain a mystery for all those who see them only on the big screen. It’s even rarer for the personal life of an actor to be showcased in a film. But HT Café has now found out that when the story of a new brand’s ad film was being developed, its team decided to borrow inspiration from Deepika Padukone’s real life. “During the meetings that the makers had with Deepika and her team over the past few months, they noticed the bond the actor shares with her team — be it asking her designer to make an outfit for her manager for a big event, pushing a team member to go on a break, or planning a holiday for her team members,” says an insider.
