Deepika Padukone is a star in just three movies and she is raring to go higher than that. She is on cloud nine yet she has her feet placed firmly on the ground. She hasn’t lost it at the top.
“Both me and my sister have been taught to be self dependent. I am 23 and very proud of it. I’m young and raring to go.
Age has nothing to do with maturity. I started traveling alone at a very young age (12) as a badminton player. That made feel responsible from a very young age. I learnt to travel in a team share dormitories and bathrooms.
You could say I’ve roughed it out. My parents made sure my sister and I were brought up with normal working class values.”
She says she is not a party animal.
“I’ve never been the partying type. I’m not much into celebrations ever since I moved to Mumbai to become an actress. I don’t have any friends to call over.
Earlier when I was in Bangalore I used to call all my friends over for my birthday over and then take them bowling or to watch a movie…”
She trails off. “Now all my free days are spent with my family. My entire family comes down from Bangalore to Mumbai for my birthday every year. It becomes a family reunion time. The came to visit me around my birthday. My Dad, mom and sister were here. We also paid a visit to Tirupathi for my birthday this year.”
