The comedian referred to the time Deepika talked about her depression during Koffee With Karan.
Reacting to the clip, one wrote ¡°Every one in this frame should be ashamed of themselves. There are no such categories of depression.¡±
I think these women make it difficult for all women by underplaying everything we go through for male validation-our reproductive health, childbirth, break ups (here she has assumed that the reason),mental health in general, post-partum depression, pressures of being a new mom.

Another added, ¡°This is so bad.People die because of depression. To laugh at someone because you think someone cooked a fake story shows how insensitive and uneducated this person is.¡±
The entire panel should be ashamed. And to see that one of the panelist is a famous neurologist Dr. Sid warrier.. Shameful.

When Deepika Padukone talked about her depression
During her episode on Koffee With Karan along with husband Ranveer Singh, she talked about how there was a time that she was in a bad state and was coping with depression. She also said that her mother instantly knew that she needed some professional help. Talking about how Ranveer helped her out she had said as per ABP, ¡°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.¡±
Ranveer also went on to narrate how once she called him up and asked him to come and help her since she had a blackout. Ranveer, who reached home realised that Deepika ¡®wasn¡¯t all there and something wasn¡¯t right.¡¯ He also had recalled how she used to have bouts of crying out of nowhere.
What do you think about this joke? Do you also think that it was offensive?
