Deepika Padukone, “Don’t Forget Your Roots” | Anupama Chopra

The success of Padmaavat makes Deepika Padukone one of the most powerful women in Bollywood. Rarely has a film of this scale been centred on a female protagonist. In this interview, Deepika talks about how she can use her success positively and why she's looking to do something fun and light now. While she's searches for a script that interests her, she tells us about how she's spending her free time at home. She also talks about speculations on her marriage and why she can now imagine herself being a working wife or mother.

Anupama Chopra is one of the most pleasant and respectful interviewer I've seen. She's so polite and patient and also she doesn't ask any unwanted question about her guest's personal life. She focuses just on the filmography and the body of work that they have. Lots of love❤️

for the people who have problem with her accent.. what's the problem? she has a pretty decent *Indian* accent. when celebs like priyanka speaks in american accent u call them fake!!! n when deepika here is speaking in her natural tone..u call her boring. exactly what do people want??😑

[vinayparmar]

She is such bliss to listen.... Humble, honest, no drama at all... Just pure!!

[malazbakhiet]

I don't understand why people hate her being "politically correct"? She's picking her words wisely, making sure not to accidently or intentionally hurt anyone and yet still delivering her own opinion loud and clear. She knows that words can hurt and she doesn't want to hurt. What's bad about that?

Deepika Padukone is the prettiest barbie doll Bollywood has ever seen. She looks better than half percentage of the entire population in this world. Seriously, she has the best features that one requires to look beautiful... Huge almond eyes, pointed nose, medium lips, heart shaped face, healthy hair, tall height, flawless skin and overall looks like a doll. 🧚🏻 Just

Deepika deserves a lot of respect as an actor in the Bollywood industry
She even can pursue further into Hollywood for her talent in acting :)

[muzungchimr]

Look at her poise and eyes, its a glimpse of paradise.

[Timelapse_Xpl]

Deepika Padukone is very clear in her conversation. She is resonating more with her clearer perspective.

[rakku]

I love how natural she is 💙💙..not trying to being anyone else and so calm❤❤

[drshaaradsingh]

I just loved deepika in this interview. She's super successful yet so humble and easy going. Can't wait for her next movie

[Emma-velz]

This is definitely one of her best looks (hair+makeup) till date... she looks so lovely in this one.

[ayushmohite]

Deepika is simply great. She is doing what she wants. She is an iconic actor in Bollywood

[srijanasharma]

Everyone has their own talking style or way...She is a good hearted person and so down to earth..She is real..that is more important..love u always DP

[richikino]

my first and last favourite actress of Bollywood. Deepika really inspires me to do my best in whatever I'm doing in my field.

I respect this woman so much. And i don't get why she always gets hate. She's a calm person who is soft-spoken and well behaved. There's no rule that you have to be loud in interviews always. There's enough controversies anyways. She used to play sports so she is relaxed and composed, which is hard when you're frequently asked diplomatic or personal questions (which you necessarily don't want to answer.)
Besides, she is talented and focused on her work and I admire her for being so down to earth & genuine. It's upsetting that she is called boring just because she is not being witty.

As a Kannadiga myself belonging to the Konkani community of Karnataka, I m proud to see a Kannada Konkani person Deepika Padukone from my native Udupi to reach these heights.

[carey]

Why do people have problem with Ranveer's unique outfits? On the other hand female celebs like Sonam et all are praised for being 'fashionistas'. Double Standards much? Ranveer is the only male celeb who dresses interesting please let him be.

[Ishasingh]

I can’t omg THIS HAS TO BE HER BEST INTERVIEW TILL DATE. she was all out for others to hear, and oh just so lovely ❤️😭

[nikhithayeturu]

I feel she is fine. Not bad. I liked her in cocktail, yeh jawani hei dawani, Chennai express, even bajirao, piku and all. I feel she acted well. Even in padmaavat she acted well. Especially Holi song in the film. I don't think anyone could have played Veronica in cocktail and Naina yjhd better. She's good yaar. Why don't we appreciate the talent we have. She is calm and chooses her words wisely. I think the media made her like that . Anyway I feel she'll be more uninhibited now that ranveer is marrying her. She feeds off his energy. And not everyone needs to be loud and energetic in interviews

[manikaur]

She looks happy and you can just see it shine all over her face. Touchwood 💗 Glad Ranveer turned out to be the man to put her broken heart back and make her so happy again. Betrayals can otherwise turn you into a miserable and low esteem person all your life.
