After consecutive flops in 2022, Bollywood started 2023 on a high note with the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan creating history at the box office while breaking and making records. Though the song ‘Besharam Rang’ created controversy, it did not affect the performance of the film. Interestingly, during the entire controversy, the star cast of the film, SRK, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham remained tight-lipped. However, a month after the release of Pathaan, Deepika opened up about it and credited her and Shah Rukh Khan’s sports backgrounds for helping them to sail the Pathaan controversies.
Deepika Padukone speaks on remaining calm during Pathaan controversy: “All we know is commitment, hard work and humility”
It all happened during DP’s interview with India Today. Speaking of the same, she asserted, “I can say this for both of us we don’t know any other way of being. I think that’s just who we are as people and the way we have been brought up by our respective families. We came here [to Mumbai] alone with just dreams and aspirations. All we know is commitment, hard work and humility, and it has gotten us where we are.”
She further explained, “Some of it [handling adversity] comes with experience and maturity. We both have been athletes. I do know that he played sports in school and college. Sport teaches you a lot about restraint.” Shedding some light on Pathaan’s success, Deepika gave a shout-out to the team by calling it “a collective effort”.
As the conversation progressed further, Deepika also spoke about her on-screen chemistry with SRK. She said, “Fifteen years ago, a superstar like him showed immense faith in a rank newcomer, who had no experience or lineage in the film industry, and cast me opposite him without an audition, mind you, that too in a double role. The beautiful part of our relationship is that one handhold or one hug communicates everything that we need to convey to each other.”
Coming to the professional front, the 37-year-old actress has multiple projects in her kitty, including Fighter with Hrithik Roshan and Project K opposite Prabhas.
