I hate kitten heels; they're useless. Either wear heels that are dangerous, or don't wear them at all.

I don't look at it as Hollywood or Bollywood, but, of course, my roots are here, and at the end of the day, it's about your roots. You can't take India out of me.

Yes, my life has changed in terms of the fame and the success, the number of eye balls on you all the time. I like to believe that it has not changed my ideology, the person that I am. I have people like Anna and my mom, my friends who tell me that.
Deepika Padukone -
At some level, I feel it is nice to know that a film of yours is doing well at the box office and has also got great reviews. That feels like success.

People talk about physical fitness, but mental health is equally important. I see people suffering, and their families feel a sense of shame about it, which doesn't help. One needs support and understanding. I am now working on an initiative to create awareness about anxiety and depression and help people.
Deepika Padukone -
There is a strong side to me, that is of a homemaker. I look forward to spending time at home in the evenings, cooking a meal, chatting with my parents and inviting friends over.

Being sad and being depressed are two different things. Also, people going through depression don't look so, while someone sad will look sad. The most common reaction is, 'How can you be depressed? You have everything going for you. You are the supposed number one heroine and have a plush home, car, movies... What else do you want?'
Deepika Padukone -
Of course! It takes a lot of strength to mend a broken heart. Channelising energies into your work helps, but also to be able to accept situations for what they are instead of questioning them helps immensely.

For me, competition is good; that is what keeps me on my toes and keeps me going. I am always trying to better my own work, do better than my earlier films... do films that are challenging and exciting for me.

When I finished 'Cocktail,' it took me a very long time to get out of Veronica's mindspace, behaviour, and zone. I had to reconnect with who I am. It is a similar story with 'Bajirao Mastani.' Some films demand that.
Deepika Padukone -
I'll only move in with my husband. There's no question of a live-in relationship.
Deepika Padukone -
Comedy is the most difficult. Comic timing is something which you either have it in you, or you don't. You have to have a good sense of humour to be able to understand it. A split second can make you lose the punch.

I am not interested in churning out a certain number of films every year. For me, it's about the quality of work. I think it's about following your instincts and doing a film for the right reason.
Deepika Padukone -
I don't have an issue with marrying an actor, though it's definitely tough. I work with actors and interact with star wives, and I don't know how they do it. Loyalty is a very important factor for me, and I need to be in a relationship where the person will complete me and fill me up.

There are days when I love a fresh blow-dry, but sometimes I just go with bedhead.
Deepika Padukone -
I am a big foodie, so much so that I eat in every half an hour. This is the secret of my glowing skin.
Deepika Padukone -
I'm not into superhero movies, but I love cartoons. Tweety bird is my favourite.
Deepika Padukone -
I meditate. I breathe out what I can't control and focus on the positives.
Deepika Padukone -
I am always surrounded by very, very charming men, very intelligent men with a great sense of humour who always keep me entertained and pampered.
Deepika Padukone -
I think for everything that people say about me as a person today - whether it's about being disciplined and grounded or whatever - I think a lot of it is a credit to my father, who has been a massive influence in my life both professionally and personally.

I am someone who can't hold on to negativity or hold on to grudges. I might feel something at a certain point, but I get tired after that. I don't carry it with me. I forgive and forget very easily, and that's the only way to be happy and peaceful.
Deepika Padukone -
When I realized I was depressed, then I started reading up about it. When I read that one in four people are depressed, I felt that I'm not the only one. I also felt that how many people must be feeling suffocated to fight this battle all alone. I just wanted to reach out and tell them that even I'm like you, and it's okay if you feel like that.
Deepika Padukone -
I don't think you need any kind of backing here in the industry. I think what you achieve in your life is the result of your own talent and hard work.
Deepika Padukone -
I'm quite happy having stuff like quinoa, sushi, and even vegetable juices.
