Deepika Padukone is counted among the top actresses in Indian cinema. She said, ‘At the beginning of my modeling career, I was offered the opportunity to go abroad, and all the fashion gurus in India said that you shouldn’t be here; you should be in Paris or New York. I said no, that city is not my home. India is my home.’ Despite being an outsider, when asked about creating a space here, Deepika responded, ‘When you were an outsider 15 or 20 years ago, there were no other options. Creating an identity in any field or profession is a challenging task, especially when your parents don’t come from that industry.'”
