What made Deepika Happy?

Deepika Padukone was elated to hear about BCCI bringing women's cricket team under the ambit of gradation payment. Gradation payment was something which only their male counterparts were enjoying till now, but in the recent finance committee meeting of BBCI they decided to bring in the women's team also under the gradation pay system.

Deepika herself being from a sports background feels happy for the women's cricket team. She believes that such a welcoming change in India's most popular game - cricket will only act as an inspiration for the other sports association to take positive steps towards the growth of women in sports.

Deepika has always been vocal about women empowerment and she has even proved with her recent performances that Women oriented films are at par with the male oriented ones. In such a premise this move from BCCI elates her in a big way as she sees this as a welcoming change towards a bright future of women in sports.

Deepika has been giving back to back commendable performances and her recent success of 'Piku' has made her an unstoppable force. She has now shifted her focus onto her next-'Tamasha'.
