In an interaction with entrepreneur and media magnate Ariana Huffington during the Live Love Laugh Foundation Lecture series held for World Mental Health Day 2024, Ariana talked about burnout and then Deepika Padukone shared her experience and said, "When you are sleep-deprived or burnt out the decisions that you make and I think sometimes I can actually feel it. I know on particular days when I am feeling stressed or burnt out because I haven't slept enough or practice my self-care rituals...I can tell that my decision-making is getting affected to some extent."

She further talked about how to deal with criticism and said, "It's absolutely normal and human to feel pain, anger, and some of these extreme emotions and learning from that. The larger picture is how do you deal with that criticism and how do you use it positively and work on yourself. You will have to put in the work and be patient."
