I feel ups and downs are a part of one's career, and this totally depends on how you take it. You can either be knocked down by the negative things, or you can take it in a positive way and learn from it.

Deepika Padukone

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

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'm quite happy having stuff like quinoa, sushi, and even vegetable juices.

Deepika Padukone

I have a lot of friends, but my biggest fear is loneliness. I miss my family in Mumbai, and my biggest nightmare every day is to go back home alone.

Deepika Padukone

Maybe because I am from a sports background, I don't give up easily. I am a fighter.

Deepika Padukone

While I believe that when you are in the glamour industry, you have to look your best, I also believe being skinny is not 'hot and happening.'

Deepika Padukone

My character in 'Cocktail' was different from my personality. Homi Adajania took me to London, showed me how girls dress and behave there. I had not seen that kind of lifestyle before.

Deepika Padukone

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.

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.

Deepika Padukone

I have always believed that chemistry can't be created between two people. You either have it or you don't. The script can only enhance it.

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.

Deepika Padukone

The best feeling is when you are remembered for the character you play on the screen and people associate you with that character. There is no better feeling than that feeling.

Deepika Padukone

I have always been focused on my job. No profession allows you the luxury of being half-focused. If you're not into it, you're not there. And the film industry is all the more harsh in these cases, perhaps because it's a business of the limelight.

Deepika Padukone

My parents never raised their hand or fired me. Their way of disciplining me was to tell me what is right or wrong.

Deepika Padukone

Even though I played national level badminton, I told my parents when I was in 10th that I was not interested in continuing. Being a model or actor fascinated me from a young age, and I even did a couple of ads when I was just eight years old.

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.

Deepika Padukone

I still live as normal a life as anybody else. I have two homes to run. I have my staff to take care of. I work, pay bills and attend society meetings like everybody else.

Deepika Padukone

I am methodical to the point of being obsessive-compulsive. And I have always been good at multi-tasking.

Deepika Padukone

I try and work out as often as possible. Since I travel very often, it becomes very difficult to have a daily work out routine, but I practice yoga every day or try and play some sport. Also, I am very aware of what suits my body in terms of food and exercise.
