Reflecting on prioritising mental peace, Deepilka shared an anecdote from her past, stating, “I kept working continuously. But one day, I fell unconscious. After a couple of days, I realized I was suffering from depression.”

Interacting with the students, the Kalki 2898 AD actress shared, “Focus on the things that you can control... You can control whether you are prepared or not. To manage stress, talk to your parents the night before exams. Identify the cause of your stress and express it to someone you can trust.”

A student from CBSE abroad asked a question to Deepika Padukone, ''How can we maintain mental peace and balance amidst the increasing pressures of exams and competitions?'' Replying to the query, the actress said, ''I think competing with each other and making comparisons is a natural part of life. Competition, in itself, is not a bad thing. However, it's essential to recognize our strengths and weaknesses, focus on our strengths and work on improving our weaknesses.'I believe that as long as you can acknowledge and learn from those you consider as competition, you'll grow. Ask yourself, 'What can I learn from them?' and 'How can I do things differently?' For me, the biggest competition is with myself. When I've done a scene a certain way, I challenge myself to do it better the next time. That's how I approach it.”
