“This series is a significant step towards making mental health conversations as normal and necessary as discussions on physical health. Sharing our stories can break down stigma and encourage more people to seek help. By featuring personal stories, we’d like to foster a sense of connection and hope, and an understanding that mental health challenges are a common part of the human experience,” remarked Dr. Shyam Bhat, Psychiatrist and Chairperson of LiveLoveLaugh.

Co-hosted by Deepika's younger sister, Anisha Padukone, CEO of LiveLoveLaugh, and Dr. Shyam Bhat, 'Lecture Series Unplugged' promises to deliver expert insights and engaging content. The inaugural episode features actor, influencer, and content creator Danish Sait, who discusses his mental health strategies and experiences in a captivating conversation with Anisha and Dr. Bhat. "Self-awareness is key. Earlier, I used to let triggers lead me to the bottom, but now I can recognize when I'm slipping and bounce back faster. Seeing a psychiatrist really healed me because the medication aided me to calm my mind,” Sait shared during the episode, advocating for a self-compassionate approach to navigating life's challenges.
