On the occasion of launching her very own self-care brand, Deepika Padukone, Co-founder, 82°E, says: "Wherever I am in the world, practising simple acts of self-care consistently, helps me stay grounded and enables me to feel my most centered. With 82°E, I hope to inspire us all to connect with our truest, most authentic selves through consistent and humble self-care practices.
