DAVOS: Actor, fashion icon and mental health ambassador Deepika Padukone will be honoured with three others by the World Economic Forum at its 50th Annual Meeting on January 20.
WEF is marking its annual meeting next month with giving away four exceptional artists — artist Theaster Gates (US), choreographer Jin Xing (China), actor Deepika Padukone (India) and artist Lynette Wallworth (Ausralia) — the annual Crystal Award, recognising their enduring contributions to society.
Padukone has been awarded for her leadership in raising mental health awareness.
According to the WEF, the cultural leaders receiving the 2020 Crystal Award 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. (AGENCIES)
