Deepika Padukone has had no Godfather in the line of acting!! Her father has been a renowned National Badminton player and Deepika had ambitions of following his path when she young. However, when she was 16 years old, her career took a transformation and she decided to choose acting over badminton. A report on ndtv.com talked about it and we take reference from that story for our write up here.
Recently, when Deepika received the TIME 100 Impact Award, she opened up her thoughts that provoked her to take up acting. In her acceptance speech, she said, “I was all of 16 when I decided to switch my careers from being a competitive badminton player to becoming an actor. Little did I imagine that 20 years hence, I’d be standing here receiving a TIME 100 Impact Award.” She added, “When you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a path that has been there all the while. So follow your bliss. Don’t be afraid and doors will open when you never knew they would.”
Deepika later shared frames with other celebrities at the event. In her caption on social media, Deepika wrote, “A glimpse of what went down at the TIME100 Impact Award last Monday.”
