Mona Singh lauded Deepika Padukone for advocating against overwork and promoting mental health awareness. Singh believes more female celebrities should address such crucial issues, especially for women in smaller towns. She emphasized that prominent figures speaking out normalizes seeking help and validates feelings of not being okay, a sentiment echoed by Konkona Sen Sharma, Dia Mirza, and Rashmika Mandanna.
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’

You’re letting people know that it’s okay to let people know that you’re not feeling okay.”
