Actress
Deepika
Padukone
is
heading
to
Bengaluru
to
celebrate
Diwali
with
her
family
members.
She
says
the
festival
has
always
been
special
to
them.
"Diwali
is
the
festival
of
lights,
joy
and
happiness
and
has
always
been
a
very
special
festival
for
all
of
us.
So
I
decided
to
spend
quality
time
with
my
family
before
I
immerse
myself
in
'Padmavati'," Deepika
said
in
a
statement.
Interestingly,
the
family
members'
names
also
signify
light:
father
Prakash,
mother
Ujjala
and
sister
Anisha.
The
meaning
of
Deepika's
name
is
also
light.
After
Diwali,
Deepika
will
soon
be
starting
the
shoot
for
Padmavati,
helmed
by
director
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali.
She
has
earlier
worked
in
films
like
"Goliyon
Ki
Rasleela
Ram-Leela"
and
"Bajirao
Mastani".
"Padmavati" also
features
actors
Ranveer
Singh
and
Shahid
Kapoor
in
key
roles.
