“I wish to be appreciated not only as a film star but also for the pers...” — Deepika Padukone Quote

“I wish to be appreciated not only as a film star but also for the person I am. If I manage to bring a smile on people's faces, then I think I'll be successful.”

“Preparation is definitely important, but it depends on the kinds of roles I do. Like, I completely identify with my character in 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.' I had to be myself and I didn't have to actually prepare for it.”

“No other aspect of filmmaking has tempted me to do a film other than the script and the story itself.”

“It took a long time for me to put a smile on my face over the course of my lifetime, and my experience of what I've been through on and off the field.”

“God made me the way I am for a reason and I would never change that. I lead a normal life as much as possible and deal with the bumps in the road as they come along with my head held high and a smile on my face!”

“Smile, it's free therapy.”
