The global ambassador also noted that Singh will be ‘happy to see her face’.
At the podcast, Padukone reflected upon the stigma attached to mental health awareness in India and believed that people don’t consider it similar to physical ailments. “Somehow when it comes to mental illness, we start treating our minds like outside of our bodies. Our mind is very much a part of our body,” she said.

She concluded her stance by saying, “Today it’s all about the little things, like hugging my sister or just late-night conversations with my husband – those are the moments that really fill me up today.”
