Playing the role of a bipolar girl in the Prabhu Raj directed Lisha, Vedieka says, The human mind is a complex place. And you never know how you make a person feel. Out of all the things, you never make them feel low/bad about themselves. Always be nice to people and have the courage to deal with the obstacles of life. At the end of the day, things are bound to be sorted."

This campaign also involved the Vishwas Foundation which caters to people anytime and every time. Dr Karthik Rao and many others are working day and night to get people to know that it's okay to not feel okay. Vedieka Dutt feels that India is a country of progressive youth and the youth is very decisive to make decisions related to their future.
