On
Deepika's
Link-ups
In
an
interview
with
India
Today,
Prakash
said,
"Initially,
we
found
it
difficult.
But
nowadays,
we're
used
to
it.
Some
of
it
-
what
is
being
reported
is
true,
but
some
of
it
is
absolutely
not
correct.
But
it
is
a
part
and
parcel
of...
you
can't
have
only
good
things.
One
has
to
accept
it."
Mr
Prakash
Padukone
On
Deepika's
Passion
For
Modelling
Prakash
Padukone
also
revealed
that
Deepika
had
always
shown
interest
in
modelling.
"It's
important
for
parents
to
realise
that
there's
a
difference
between
liking
and
being
passionate
about
something.
She
liked
badminton,
but
her
first
love
was
modeling."
Deepika
On
Playing
Badminton
Speaking
about
the
same,
Deepika
said,
"There
was
never
any
pressure
to
play
badminton.
I
liked
and
enjoyed
it
as
a
hobby,
but
I
don't
think
I
put
enough
effort
into
it."
Deepika
Also
Revealed..
"I
used
to
go
shoot
for
ads
on
the
weekends,
as
a
child.
My
friend's
mother
would
say
that
I
should
do
modeling,
and
my
mother
used
to
say,
'Please
don't
put
ideas
into
her
head.'"
Deepika
On
Shifting
To
Mumbai
"It
was
very
very
exciting.
Today,
when
I
think
about
the
decision
that
I
made
when
I
was
18,
I
sometimes
have
that
moment
when
I
think
'Wow.
How
did
I
even
make
that
decision
and
how
did
I
not
realise
that
how
big
decision
it
was
at
that
time.
But
at
that
time,
it
was
very
easy,"
said
Deepika.
However,
Her
Dad
Prakash
Padukone
Admitted
That
It
Was
A
Tough
Time
For
Him
As
A
Dad
"It
was
extremely
difficult
for
us.
We
were
very
nervous
because
she
was
not
even
18.
She
didn't
have
a
place
to
stay.
She
was
moving
into
a
new
field.
At
that
time
we
felt
she
was
too
young
to
move
out.
But
now
when
I
look
back,
I
think
she
did
the
right
thing.
Because
in
that
profession,
you
need
to
start
early,"
said
Mr
Padukone.
