Deepika: 'Working In Padmavati Was An Exhausting Experience'

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone says,
though she feels fortunate to have
portrayed a character like Padmavati, the
filming was extremely exhausting for her.
The actress was present at the book launch
of Hema Malini's biography Beyond The
Dream Girl, written by Ram Kamal
Mukherjee.
Deepika Padukone: "Working In Padmavati
Was An Exhausting Experience
During an interactive session with Hema,
Deepika shared how time has changed.
Acting in the magnum opus Padmavati has
transformed her creative mind.
She said: "Working in Padmavati was an
exhausting experience. It takes quite a lot
to work on a character for nine months
constantly round the clock. Certain
characters just don't leave your system.
During the book launch, while Mukherjee
was busy giving sneak peek into various
chapters of his book, Deepika and Hema,
shared their recipe for success.

Yes she was shooting non stop and was off the radar for quite some time too. Its definitely a taxing role and SLB shoots Long hours ..

I am sure it was. Every film with SLB seems to be most exhausting for the actors!! Even SRK had mentioned how he barely sleeps but working on Devdas completely took away all his sleep!! He even used to consume real alcohol to get into the character of Devdas.. DP too spoke about how the Jauhar scene was traumatic to shoot & experience.. Poor actors.
