Always express yourself: Deepika Padukone to students on mental health at Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025
New Delhi/IBNS: Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone has guided young students about ways to deal with mental health issues participating in the eighth edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha.
Referring to the line 'express, never suppress' from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's book Exam Warriors, Deepika asked the students to always share their thoughts with people whom they trust.
"Always express yourself, whether it's with your friends, family, parents, teachers. Journaling is a great way to express yourself," the actress said.
Deepika, who is among various personalities taking part in the Pariksha Pe Charcha this year, suggested multiple ways through which they could deal with their stress.
