Deepika Padukone is celebrating. It is like as if she has won the battle.The strife is behind her, she says, and she is looking ahead.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Padmaavat was released last week after months of protests and threats, but the film’s leading lady said the tough times had been overtaken by the love of the audience.
“At this point, I am not thinking about the last three months. The last three days have been so overwhelming that nothing else matters. I am in a mood to celebrate. I am grateful for all the love and support,” Deepika said while interacting with the media at a popular Indian restaurant here last night.
“When Rani has so much strength, why would she need others? In my personal life I fight my own battle, I don’t need anyone,” she added.
It looks at the power of women. Today again we are standing up for ourselves with dignity… I find her journey so relevant today,” Deepika said about her character, Rani Padmavati.
The film also stars Shahid Kapoor, who plays the role of Maharawal Ratan Singh and Ranveer Singh, who plays Alauddin Khilji, but it was Deepika who faced the wrath of Rajput community who issued death threats to her.
