Deepika Padukone recently opened up about her experience that she encountered in Hollywood. The actress at the recent CNBC TV’s Global Leadership Summit spoke there has been certain cultural cliches that she faced. The actress spoke about how the West held a very different view in its mind.
She said, “It’s very deliberate… I was very clear about taking India to the world, but the India that I know. For example, moving to Hollywood and getting into that industry, or doing it in an way that has been expected of us or suits a global audience was something I never wanted to do, even if it took longer.”
She further added, “I think what bothered me every time I went to the West was this sort of idea of India they have. It is so different from the country that I know. I have experienced all those cliches firsthand, whether it has to do with casting, our accent or the colour of my skin. I was clear that I wanted to do it my way and on my terms,” per Times Now.
Deepika Padukone is all set to be seen in King alongside Shah Rukh Khan. The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, Raghav Juyal and others. The title release on Shah Rukh Khan’s birthday got the nation under its spell.
