'83
Is
Special
For
Deepika
Coming
from
a
sports
background,
Deepika
has
special
reasons
for
being
part
of
the
film.
Although
her
role
is
small,
she
feels
it
is
important
because
the
families
of
sportspersons
are
not
given
too
much
credit.
Why
She
Feels
Her
Small
Role
In
'83
Is
Important
Deepika
was
quizzed
about
her
role
in
'83
at
the
IIFA
Awards
2019.
She
said,
"Kabir
thought
of
me
for
the
film.
It's
a
small
but
special
role.
I
feel
like
the
role
of
a
spouse
and
family
is
not
always
given
enough
credit
when
you
look
at
athletes
and
when
they
perform
and
win
on
international
platforms.
I
feel
their
families
don't
get
recognized
as
much
as
they
deserve
to.
So,
keeping
that
in
mind,
I
wanted
to
do
the
film."
"I
Don't
Think
About
Awards
When
I
Choose
A
Film"
The
actress
was
also
asked
how
much
awards
mean
to
her,
to
which
she
replied,
"When
I
choose
a
film,
I
don't
think
about
these
things,
but
when
you
get
recognition
by
way
of
awards
it
feels
really
good.
My
process
of
choosing
films
has
always
been
simple
and
honest,
and
I
intend
keeping
it
that
way."
Deepika
Made
Heads
Turn
At
IIFA
2019
Deepika
made
heads
turn
on
the
green
carpet
of
the
20th
IIFA
awards.
Her
purple
gown
with
feather
and
sequin
detailing
was
the
talk
of
the
town.
Opening
up
about
her
fashion
choice
for
the
evening,
she
said,
"I
wanted
to
do
something
different
with
my
fashion
and
I
wanted
to
enjoy
it.
Lately,
I
am
going
through
this
phase
of
wanting
to
wear
things
that
are
outlandish
and
things
that
have
a
lot
of
colour.
So,
I
am
having
fun
after
wearing
it."

scheduled
for
