Deepika
Padukone
recently
took
to
her
Instagram
story
to
inform
fans
that
she
has
stepped
down
as
the
Chairperson
of
Mumbai
Academy
of
the
Moving
Image
(MAMI).
The
actress
issued
an
official
statement
in
which
she
cited
her
'current
slate
of
work'
as
the
reason
behind
her
decision.
The
Padmaavat
star
began
her
post
by
writing,
"Being
on
the
board
of
MAMI
and
serving
as
Chairperson
has
been
a
deeply
enriching
experience.
As
an
artist,
it
was
invigorating
to
bring
together
cinema
and
talent
from
all
over
the
world
to
Mumbai,
my
second
home.
She
continued,
"I
have
come
to
realise,
however,
that
with
my
current
slate
of
work,
I
will
be
unable
to
give
MAMI
the
undivided
focus
and
attention
it
requires."
"I
depart
knowing
that
MAMI
is
in
the
best
hands
possible
and
that
my
bond
and
connection
with
the
academy
is
one
that
will
last
a
lifetime," Deepika
signed
off
her
statement.
