When Deepika Padukone dismissed all the rumours about her rivalry with Priyanka Chopra
Deepika Padukone, once in an interview with the Hindustan Times, reacted to the rumours about her rivalry with Priyanka Chopra. She shared that the speculations make her feel weird, as she has known Priyanka for so many years and she doesn’t believe that they are professional rivals. Reflecting on the same, Deepika shared:
“I like the fact that you use the word ‘friend’, because that’s what she is to me. So, every time I read anything that doesn’t say that (we are friends), it really surprises me. I have always said that she is someone I’ve known for many years. I feel extremely awkward and weird when such comparisons are made, because I don’t even believe that we are professional rivals. We never were. So, why should we be now? She is doing amazing work in her own space. And what her work will require from her in terms of time and other commitments are different from what I am working towards or what I am doing.”
Deepika Padukone strongly reacted to the idea of moving overseas like Priyanka Chopra
In an interview with Vogue India, when Deepika Padukone was asked if she eventually plans to move out of the country and create a global impact, she gave an empathetic response. Strongly reacting to the proposal, the actress revealed that during her initial years in Mumbai, she got an offer to move overseas, and even many fashion gurus recommended her to accept it. However, Deepika shared that she feels India is her home and said:
“Why do I need to move with bag and baggage to have global impact? Early on in my modelling career, I had an offer to move overseas and all of the fashion gurus in India said, ‘You shouldn’t be here, you should be in Paris, New York or Milan,’ and I was like, ‘No, those places are not my home. India is home.’”
