On World Mental Health Day, just weeks after welcoming her second child on September 19, actor Deepika Padukone announced a brand new charity closet initiative called ‘Featured Closets’ — and the first guest curator is none other than badminton player PV Sindhu.

Yes, you read that right. PV Sindhu’s actual jerseys, jersey sets and dresses are up for sale . This is bigger than fashion. Her original charity closet has been a low-key circular-economy fundraiser for years — fans buying from her personal wardrobe to fund TLLLF. Now ‘Featured Closets’ expands that circle. The idea is simple: invite icons from sports, entertainment, and public life to donate their personal items, so fans can form a real connection with their role models while funding mental health care. Guest icons donate pre-loved pieces, you shop them at DeepikaPadukone.com/Closet , and the proceeds go directly to TLLLF’s programs, helplines and awareness campaigns. Sustainable fashion funding real support.
The prices range between ₹ 850- ₹ 1,100. If you have followed Deepika, you know her mental health advocacy started in 2014 when she publicly shared her clinical depression diagnosis — when no other A-lister in India was talking about it. In 2015, she founded The Live Love Laugh Foundation (TLLLF) to help reduce stigma and make resources accessible, especially in underserved communities.
