Deepika
Padukone's
speech
at
the
recently
held
Filmfare
Awards
has
proved
that
she
loves
and
admires
her
parents.
Her
parents
too,
are
proud
of
her
achievements.
We
bring
to
you
some
adorable
pictures
of
Deepika
Padukone
with
her
dad
Prakash
Padukone
and
mom
Ujjala
Padukone.
Have
a
look!
The
reason
why
Deepika
Padukone
is
so
grounded
and
down
to
earth
is
because
of
the
good
upbringing
that
her
parents
gave
her.
Deepika's
father
is
a
very
famous
badminton
player
but
she
reveals
that
she
lived
a
very
disciplined
life.
In
an
interview
to
HT,
Deepika
said,''
The
culture
at
home
reflected
a
disciplined
sportsman's
nature.''
''Late-night
parties
or
typical
'teenage'
behaviour
were
not
appreciated.
Dad
didn't
understand
why
a
party
needed
to
start
so
late
at
night
-
the
time
one
should
go
to
bed!''
she
said.
Deepika
Padukone
further
added,
''Dad
would
come
to
pick
me
sharp
at
10,
my
deadline,
if
at
all
he
allowed
me
to
go
anywhere!
There
were
no
unnecessary
indulgences.
Getting
5
as
pocket
money
on
a
Wednesday
and
eating
ice-cream
or
dosa
in
school
with
that
money
was
a
big
deal."
"I
had
to
be
a
team
player.
I
couldn't
expect
to
be
treated
as
Ms
Padukone.
And
I
wasn't
a
rebel.
Honestly,
I
wasn't
uncomfortable
with
any
of
it.
Guess
I
had
given
enough
reason
to
my
conservative
parents
to
have
faith
in
me," Deepika
Padukone
said.
Prakash
Padukone
also
talked
about
Deepika
with
the
daily,
"I
gave
up
my
studies
to
play
badminton
at
17.
That
was
back
in
the
'70s.
And
my
own
dad
backed
me
all
the
way.''
''Had
he
insisted
I
become
a
doctor
or
an
engineer
then,
I
would
have
been
nothing
but
a
loser
in
life.
So
how
could
I
let
my
own
daughter
down
when
all
she
needed
of
me
was
to
have
faith
in
her
passion
and
capability?"
he
said.
