Depression could be fatal, even more, fatal than some deadly diseases, because it’s something that you can’t witness! It’s always better to be able to open up about it; and here are the actors who spoke on their battle with depression as stated in Youth Ki Aawaz.

1. Shah Rukh Khan

The actor battled with mental agony after his shoulder surgery back in 2010.

2. Varun Dhawan

The actor opened up that he went to a dark zone while working for Badlapur, he said, “Maybe because I am young and I had not seen the things I got to see during the making of Badlapur. I think, that is why it hit me harder than it would effect a person older than me.” he added, “I was depressed. I was not clinically declared depressed but I was heading there. I was very sad to a certain degree. I don’t want to use the term ‘depression’ loosely because it’s a serious illness. It definitely affected my mental health. I was prescribed and did see a doctor for it as well.”

3. Illeana D’cruz

The actress opened up her struggle with BDD (Body dysmorphic disorder) and depression.

4. Deepika Padukone

The actress shot to headlines after she spoke about her long-time battle with depression.
