Kangana Ranaut has been making ‘depression ki dukan’ and ‘depression ka dhanda’ jibes at Deepika Padukone for quite some time.
Looks like Kangana is still bitter at Deepika’s The Live Love Laugh Foundation, hence she took another jibe at Padukone today on World Mental Health Day.
Post criticism from mental health experts and a media ban, Kangana’s film on mental health which was previously titled ‘Mental Hai Kya’, had to revise its title to ‘Judgemental Hai Kya’.
Even the Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) had filed an official complaint to CBFC chairperson Prasoon Joshi, seeking information about how the film would address mental health.
Back then, Deepika’s The Live Love Laugh Foundation had called out ‘Mental Hai Kya’ saying, “It is time we put an end to the use of words, imagery and/or the portrayal of persons with mental illness in a way that reinforces stereotypes.”
“Many millions who suffer from mental illness in India already face tremendous stigma. Therefore, it is extremely important to be responsible and sensitive to the needs of those suffering.”
So today, while promoting her film Judgemental Hai Kya on World Mental Health Day, Kangana took another dig at Deepika saying – “The film that we made for Mental Health awareness was dragged to the court by those who run depression ki dukan, after media ban, name of the film was changed just before the release causing marketing complications but it’s a good film, do watch it today #WorldMentalHealthDay.”
What do you think of the Kangana vs Deepika controversy?
