Amidst this pandemic everyone’s mental and physical health has gone for a toss. Actress Deepika Padukone recently announced that she will be discussing the importance of mental health during the pandemic with World Health Organisation’s Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. However, the actress was slammed by netizens. Wondering why? Well, read on to know why.

Taking to her social media handle Deepika shared an announcement that read, “Prioritizing mental health during the pandemic and beyond. Join Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General, WHO and I, as we discuss the importance of mental health during the #Covid19 pandemic and lessons we can learn for the future”. The ‘Chhapaak’ actress will go live on Instagram on April 23.

Netizens bashed the actress for her decision to collaborate with the WHO Chief as reportedly he has been accused of keeping the dangers of Coronavirus a secret. One of the users pointed, “Well it’s entirely ur choice @deepikapadukone but kindly give it a thought tht how can people accept the bhakshak (भक्षक) as rakshak (रक्षक). Nobody would like him answering the questions on that programme when he should answer questions regarding his conduct during #COVID19.(sic)”

Whereas, another user wrote, “WHO has been doing a lot of promoted campaigns after COVID outbreak exposed their credibility and USA stopped the funding. This is also one of the promotional campaign. Deepika has no concern about mental health or reality of Tedros. It’s all about money(sic).”

Please cancel this or we will launch a boycott of you. Tedros is a Communist Chinese stooge who hates India and caused the coronavirus to spread.

WHO has been doing a lot of promoted campaigns after COVID outbreak exposed their credibility and USA stopped the funding. This is also one of the promotional campaign. Deepika has no concern about mental health or reality of Tedros. It's all about money.

Please ask him to explain why the world wasn’t warned right at the start that CoronaVirus was contagious?

If that had been done, many would be alive today.
