Deepika Padukone SPEAKS UP about being IGNORED abroad!

Deepika, who was at the press conference for the Cannes Film Festival in India, was asked to comment on her being ignored in west. And her reply will convey to you, what Deepika feels about the same.

And here's what Deepika said, "Ignorance is ignorance. I feel bad for their ignorance." (sic)

The actress also spoke about her upcoming Hollywood projects. When she was quizzed about the same, she replied, "You should expect me in movies in general. I don't like the distinction between certain types of film. The reach and visibility are much more, when you do a Hollywood movie. What drives me is the film and the challenges it gets up to me as an actor." (sic)

The 'Mastani' of Bollywood expressed her happiness of representing India at an international platform by saying, "Obviously, I am proud not just to represent the brand but also the country. It feels like you are an athlete and you are representing the country. As far as Cannes is concerned, being a woman, there's a beauty aspect to it and being an actor, there's the movie angle to it." (sic)

For her, Cannes is not a platform to showcase her beauty and clothes but also an opportunity! She says, "My team is working on my looks but according to me, it's more than just looks and clothes. I have always looked at everything as opportunities and what you make out of those." (sic)

Well said Deepika!
