When someone suffers from mental illness, the entire family and people close to him also get affected. Additionally, they also have the biggest responsibility to handle the person with utmost care and compassion. When Deepika Padukone was going through depression, Ranveer Singh was with her.

The Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani actor shared that it took him a long time to understand and said that it depends on your intentions as a partner. Speaking about the first time this happened, he said, “When this first happened in 2014, I was shooting. She called and she said ‘I have had a blackout and I have fallen. Can you come home?’ I disconnected the call and I was on my bike and when I saw her, something was not right. She’s in front, she’s looking at you but she’s not there at all,” he adds.

Talking about the time when he realized it was a serious problem, the Gully Boy actor revealed, “One day at breakfast time she was sitting next to me and she was just crying and there were only tears. Tears are flowing in abundance.” When he asked the DP what happened, he didn’t know what to say. “She’s like ‘I don’t know.’ I got up and went to him and started telling him. I remember all that clearly, the reason is that that was the moment when I felt completely helpless.” Not knowing what to do, he called Deepika’s family, who directly reached out to him in Mumbai.
