‘Every woman celebrity should address these issues’: Mona Singh supports Deepika Padukone’s views on work-life balance and mental health |
Mona Singh recenlty supported Deepika Padukone’s recent statement about not normalising overworking and praised her for promoting mental health awareness.
Celebrities creating awareness
Talking to IANS, she said, “I’m glad that celebrities now are addressing these issues and creating awareness. Otherwise, women in tier 2 sectors will not have any awareness and think of it as normal. When you look up to a certain celebrity who endorses this kind of app and mental health, emotional wellness, talking about periods, and talking about hormones, it’s just creating more awareness. More women who people look up to should come out and start addressing and normalise these issues.”
‘Every woman celebrity should address these issues’
Elaborating further, she added, “Every woman celebrity should address these issues. Deepika Padukone has addressed so many issues about mental health. I feel very happy to see these big names coming out and addressing these issues because it does make a difference. You’re creating awareness. You’re letting people know that it’s okay to let people know that you’re not feeling okay.”

It should be equal.”Dia Mirza and Rashmika Mandanna have also echoed Deepika’s message, calling for a broader change in the industry.On the work front, Mona Singh is currently garnering praise from all sides for her performance in Aryan Khan‘s The Ba***ds of Bollywood.
