Deepika Padukone at Davos: here's what to expect from the Bollywood star at the World Economic Forum

New Delhi, Dec 13 () Cine star Deepika Padukone, China's popular media personality Jin Xing and two other artists have been selected for Crystal Award by the World Economic Forum (WEF).
 The award celebrates the achievements of artists and cultural figures whose leadership inspires inclusive and sustainable change. 
 Chicago-based artist Theaster Gates and Australian artist Lynette Wallworth are the two other recipients selected for the award.
 Padukone would be given the award for her leadership in raising mental health awareness, the WEF said in a release on Friday.
 "These wonderful cultural leaders are bridge-builders. They connect us to each other, they help us reflect on the human condition and they provide visions of the world that can cut through the limitations of short-term or linear thinking," Hilde Schwab, chairwoman and co-founder of the World Arts Forum, which hosts the awards, said.
 The release said Padukone is an internationally acclaimed actor, fashion icon and mental health ambassador from India.
 "Padukone was diagnosed with clinical depression in 2014 and sought professional help to aid her recovery. In June 2015, she founded The Live Love Laugh Foundation (TLLLF) to give hope to every person experiencing stress, anxiety and depression," it noted.
 She has acted in close to 30 feature films.
 According to the release, the foundation's programmes and initiatives include nationwide public awareness and destigmatization campaigns, funding support for treatment in rural communities, training general physicians in common mental health disorders, research and an annual lecture series featuring the world's foremost thinkers and achievers.
 Padukone said that with more than 300 million people suffering with the illness, depression is the leading cause of ill health and disability in the world today and a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease.
 "It is therefore increasingly clear that, now more than ever before, we need to aggressively address what is an invisible and overlooked health and social burden," the actress said.
 The winners would be honoured during the opening session of the WEF Annual Meeting 2020 at Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, on January 20, 2020.
 Sir David Attenborough, Margaret Atwood, Sir Elton John and Shah Rukh Khan are among the previous recipients of Crystal Award. RAM RVK

That was how India’s first youtube star, <keyword id="2517934" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bhuvan-Bam">Bhuvan Bam</keyword>, was born and so did his channel “BB Ki Vines”. Back then, India had few homegrown comedians. The Viral Fever and All India Bakchod were creating content, but in English. “I thought I should bring some kind of humour. I’ve grown up watching Kader Khan, Johnny Lever, Govinda kind of movies, David Dhawan movies, ’90s and early 2000s movies. And that was a good change for people. The language barrier was at a breaking point,” Bhuvan<a href="https://qz.com/india/1456007/the-making-of-bhuvan-bam-indias-biggest-youtube-star/"> told Quartz. </a> Five years on, Bam has a wide fan base and his videos received a billion views. He is now as famous as any other Bollywood celebrity in India — and celebrities like Karan Johar are in awe of him as well. He will now go where no one expected this expletive spewing YouTuber will go --- to the World Economic Forum. There he will rub shoulders with top Indian and international CEOs. However, he has a story to tell on how he captured the pulse of young Indians. He is also a part of a discussion on a cohesive and sustainable world. And is also likely to attend a dinner hosted by YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, who is inviting creators from around the world. Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone will also be attending the event to speak about stigma around mental illnesses. <div type="Slideshow" msid="73473449" hostid="261" title="YouTuber Bhuvan Bam heads to World Economic Forum in Davos to tell his story" firstImageMsid="73473540" slideCount="3"></div>
