In her acceptance speech at the Crystal awards, Deepika was quoted saying, "Mental illness has presented us all with a very tough challenge. But my love-hate relationship with mental illness has taught me so much. To be patient is one. That you are not alone, but most importantly that there is hope."

On the work front, Deepika is doing some trailblazing work in cinema too as she recently starred in Chhapaak, in the role of an acid attack survivor. The film directed by Meghna Gulzar received positive responses from the critics.
