Deepika Padukone shared how Ranveer Singh supported her in her mental health journey even though he did not know much about it at the time.

Deepika Padukone has opened up about her mental health journey on many occasions in the past and on the latest episode of Koffee with Karan, Deepika shared that Ranveer Singh was there to support her through all of it during those initial difficult months when she herself wasn’t aware of what she had been going through.

Deepika acknowledged that even though Ranveer did not know much about the subject at the time, he created a “safe space” for her where she could communicate freely and be vulnerable.

“I think he understands mental illness today slightly better than he did back then. The fact that he created a safe space for me to be able to be vulnerable, to be able to share, to be able to communicate because a lot of times you are just feeling so many things, you don’t know how to articulate it,” she said.

Deepika said that Ranveer never offered suggestions like ‘let’s go for a drive’ or ‘let’s play some music’ but instead, he was there for her. “He didn’t know better. He’s learnt over a period of time how to be a caregiver but in that moment, we were all going through it for the first time,” she recalled.
