Deepika Padukone is the famous actress that struggles with depression and is now a strong advocate for the health issue. Now she’s using her advocacy to ‘sell her clothes on World Mental Health Day‘.
No, she’s not auctioning items from her wardrobe to make raise money for the cause. She’s just selling used items from her wardrobe to fans under the ‘Live Laugh Love‘ banner for World Mental Health Day.

That’s why many people brought up how Deepika could have just donated more from her own wallet, than shelling out her wardrobe.
