DNA and mid-day report that Deepika and Raveer have said that they would rather appreciate if the guests make donations to her NGO – The Live Love Laugh Foundation – to help those with mental illness. Deepika Padukone opened up about battling depression in 2015, following which she founded the NGO. “The bride and groom have requested the guests to not shower them with gifts. If they wish to give them anything, they’ve requested that donations be made to Deepika’s foundation that actively works towards creating awareness and removing the stigma around depression. Both Ranveer and Deepika are deeply committed to the cause and want to involve all their guests in the good deed,” mid-day quoted a source as saying. Published in Daily Times, November 14th 2018.
