Bollywood
journey

No
one
can
deny
that
Deepika
Padukone
is
one
of
the
most
successful
actresses
in
Bollywood
today.
The
Padmaavat
beauty
is
continuing
to
take
her
career
and
art
higher
up,
with
the
kind
of
roles
she
is
choosing,
and
also
with
the
fine-tuning
of
her
performances,
film
after
film.
There
is
a
beautiful
anecdote
behind
Deepika
wanting
to
be
an
actress,
as
she
revealed
in
a
recent
interview.
Deepika
was
in
a
chat
with
Vogue
recently,
and
she
opened
up
about
how,
fuelled
by
her
determination,
she
made
it
big
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
"I
had
no
training,
no
mentors.
I
worked
it
all
out
on
my
own.
Sure,
I
had
some
failures,
personal
and
professional.
But
sheer
determination
fuelled
me.
It
was
empowering."
She
went
on
to
reveal
when
she
knew
that
she
was
going
to
be
an
actress.
Recalling
a
sweet
anecdote
from
her
childhood,
she
said,
"As
a
family,
we
saw
maybe
two
films
a
year.
I
don't
know
why.
But
whenever
I
watched
a
movie,
I
knew
that
one
day
I'd
be
doing
this.
I'd
start
with
modelling,
then
go
into
films.
And
that's
exactly
how
it
happened."
For
Deepika,
the
biggest
compliment
anyone
can
give
her
is
that
she
has
not
changed
after
the
peaks
of
success
she
has
experienced,
and
that
she
is
still
the
same
person.
"When
I'm
complimented
for
my
work,
but
you
know
what's
most
rewarding
for
me?
When
people
tell
me
I
haven't
changed.
That
I
am
still
myself,"
she
said.
Deepika
will
next
be
seen
in
Meghna
Gulzar's
Chhapaak,
a
film
which
is
based
on
acid-attack
victim,
Laxmi
Aggarwal.
She
has
said
that
this
has
been
one
of
the
most
challenging
roles
for
her.
Chhapaak
is
scheduled
for
release
on
January
10,
2020.
She
will
also
be
seen
in
'83,
which
stars
her
husband
Ranveer
Singh
in
the
lead.
Deepika
will
be
playing
Ranveer's
on-screen
wife
in
the
Kapil
Dev
based
film.
