All her hard work and brilliance that she brings to the set is effortless. She does her preparation but there is none of the—I AM PREPARED FOR A ROLE—heaviness around her. It is done with so much silence. It's such a pleasure to work with someone who does what she is doing at that moment with absolute honesty. She's an actor who feels so honestly and simply, but her performances are detailed and nuanced. I'm not done with her yet."
Bollywood's leading lady Deepika Padukone is crowned as the undisputed Queen of the 100 crore club post the humungous success of her historical drama Padmaavat. The magnum opus is Deepika's seventh 100 crore film and a feather in her cap alongwith all the brilliant performances.
