"Instead of selling a disease get it treated #RepeatAfterMe," said another user.

"Deepika is a depression expert as she suffered a depression bout a decade ago. Similarly I'm a wildlife expert as I suffered a wild monkey bite in class IV. Repeat after me, monkey bite is real. Tell me what expert you became after what you suffered. Use hashtag #RepeatAfterMe," a user wrote in a tweet.
