The best advice he got from Shahrukh Khan.
Deepika Padukone is an actress who is looked up to and admired by many, but even celebrities are criticized for her body and fit in the mold of perfect body image accepted by the society. is inspired to be. The Bollywood actor was recently interviewed by Filmfare for his latest film Gehraiyaan and revealed that he was once advised to get breast implants at the age of 18.
Padukone was asked about the best and worst advice she got during the interview. He said that Shah Rukh Khan gives very good advice and he has learned a lot from him. "One of the most valuable advice I got from him was to always work with people you know you'll have a good time with, because when you're making a movie you're also living life, making memories and Creating experiences."
Revealing the worst advice she has received, which she is grateful for not taking seriously, she said that she was asked to get breast implants. "I was 18 and I often wonder how I had the wisdom to not take it seriously."
His new film Gahariyan was also discussed in the interview.
The Padmaavat actor said the reason he said yes to the film is because, anyone who watches the film, he is attracted to films that are "true to life; where the characters are raw, real, relatable." She also really wanted to work with director Shakun Batra, whom she knows on a personal level and found her "charming".
Padukone chose this character because it was different from any character she had ever played before. "[My character is] who we have never seen before in Indian cinema; flawed, human and relatable." The actor said that most of the characters exposed to the public through films are either black or white and have often been traditionally portrayed as doing right or wrong. "Humanizing Alisha Khanna (Padukone's character), empathizing and portraying her through the lens of judgment was the most challenging and exciting part for me as an artiste."
Since cheating is a theme in the film, the actors were asked if they had ever cheated or cheated and what were their thoughts. Padukone said that she doesn't personally endorse certain choices, but one of the things she's learned through experience with this film is "trying to judge people for their choices and/or actions." And not to do it. To empathize and understand why people do what they do. And it's not just limited to infidelity."
Commenting on the merger of himself and the character, he said, "Characters don't exist in isolation. With every character you portray, you take something away from that experience, but you invest a lot of yourself in every character. And so, a merging of the screen character with the real self on some level is inevitable."
Gahariyan is directed by Batra and produced by Karan Johar. The film also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday, Dhairya Karva, Naseeruddin Shah and Rajat Kapoor in pivotal roles. It is being streamed on Amazon Prime.
