Deepika Padukone has always been open about her mental health struggles, being at the forefront of the movement. On this episode of KWK, Johar opened up about his own mental health struggle, which prompted Deepika Padukone to discuss her journey navigating the struggle. Karan went on to ask Ranveer Singh, the ever-doting husband, about how he manages to support Deepika Padukone.
During a shoot, Deepika called Ranveer, revealing, "I've had a blackout, and I've had a fall. Can you come home?" Ranveer, without hesitation, ended the call and rushed to be by her side. He described the unsettling moment when he saw Deepika, saying, "When I went and saw her, there wasn't something right. She was with you, she was looking at you, but she wasn't all there."
He goes on to recount the moment he knew this was a serious problem. Ranveer recalled having breakfast across from her one day, and Deepika was just crying. “Copious tears were flowing down,” he added.
During the episode, Deepika Padukone shared that she aimed to bring about a change and positively impact lives, which is why she opened up about her battle with depression in 2014. She revealed that she has been on medication for the last 10 years, saying, "It’s work every day." She added that the fact that Ranveer Singh created a safe space for her "told me a lot about the person that he is."
On a lighter note, the couple also unveiled their highly anticipated wedding video. For the first time, Deepika and Ranveer shared a romantic glimpse into the serenity of their most special day with the audience on Koffee With Karan 8. The couple tied the knot in November 2018 in Italy in a private ceremony with only family members in attendance.
The wedding video features unseen footage from the ceremonies. At their official ring ceremony, Ranveer's father revealed the actor's dream was to marry Deepika one day and how it just came true.
