From fighting depression to making sports an important part of life, the birthday girl, Deepika has given us reasons more than just one to look up to her. So, here are 5 life lessons every child must learn from the gorgeous star.
1. Â Fight Back
No problem in life is unsolvable and the actress is a living example of the same. We all have those low phases in life when everything seems like a lull. But, it is perfectly ok to be so! However, make sure you don’t get bogged down and fight back. Deepika also struggled depression in 2014 and came clean out of it. In fact, the actress was also part of a mental health campaign called The Live Love Laugh Foundation (TLLF). The foundation aims at reaching out to people who are in mental distress and helping them wade through the tough times.
“In the times we are living today, we have become so competitive, which is a good thing, but we have become extremely insensitive too. I dedicate this campaign to people who have survived depression, people suffering through it and urge society to become more sensitive”- Deepika
2. Rekindle Your Love For Sports
In today’s competitive world, we are always in a hurry to push ourselves and our kids to be the best in everything. However, in this mad run, sports has somewhere become a long lost hobby. There was a time when play was considered a must for kids, but now times and priorities have changed and sports have just taken a back seat in most homes.
“I’ve learnt focus and dedication from sports. Sports has also taught me how to handle failure and success. It has taught me how to fight and It has made me unstoppableâ€_x009d_, said Deepika.

3. Be Fearless
Deepika’s war with The Times Of India in September 2016 shook the industry and the public. The actress openly slammed the news daily for making a big deal about her cleavage show. She put her foot down bravely and spoke for the right, for herself and for the women in our nation through Twitter.
YES!I am a Woman.I have breasts AND a cleavage! You got a problem!!??

4. Fitness First
In our everyday rush, we give very little time and importance to health and fitness. While we might be aware of this, it’s high time we get moving. In fact, exercise can do a lot of good to your mind too. The Bollywood actress is a fitness freak and the videos of her workout sessions on Instagram are sure to give you major goals. She also states that fitness is not just about looking slim, but is about feeling good from within.
