Kangana Ranaut has already taken digs at Deepika Padukone calling her a ‘self-proclaimed mental health expert’.
Deepika Padukone’s #RepeatAfterMe posts have faced backlash after netizens slam the SSR depression angle.
After the Supreme Court’s verdict of approving a CBI probe into the SSR case, Kangana slammed Deepika’s #RepeatAfterMe campaign by saying, “Repeat after me, depression ka dhandha chalane walon ko public ne unki aukat dikhadi.”
The public that Kangana talked about are the netizens who believe that Deepika has pushed a depression narrative in Sushant’s case and have lashed out at her.
Kangana Ranaut also tweeted saying, “If Deepika Padukone says she suddenly got depressed for a break up which happened 10 years ago, we believe her so give me and Sushant same respect if I say I am not mentally ill or if Sushant’s father says he wasn’t mentally I’ll believe us also na. Why you forcing illness on us?”
Kangana had a lot more to say as she defended herself from those who questioned her stance. She replied stating, “If people like her get their way they will put every extra ordinary individual in asylum, this illness has no diagnosis based on blood reports or body scans,anyone can gather a blood thirsty mob and declare one a psycho and get them lynched,stop using mental illness so loosely.”
However, one of Kangana’s doctors also indulged in a conversation with her. Dr Deepa Sharma called out Ranaut by commenting, “You are right in many sense that some people want to declare a normal person mentally unstable, but Dear,as a doctor I get many patients who are suffering from Depression or further stages of mental health issues. It’s real, mental health problem do not leave u if u r successful.”
Kangana also retweeted a video of her talking about Padukone and her ‘depression theory’ post the latter’s breakup with Ranbir Kapoor.
