Deepika Padukone gets felicitated at Asiavision Movie Awards in Sharja

Deepika Padukone, despite being in the
midst of Padmavati controversy, decided to
fly to the UAE to attend an awards gala that
felicitated her. The actress was recently
seen in Sharjah being honoured as the
Global Icon Of India' at the Asiavision Movie
Awards.
Interestingly, Asiavision Movie Awards
celebrates the glitz, glamour and
performance of the South Indian industry
and Deepika Padukone who hails from
South India was honoured for her
contribution to Bollywood. After her last
award winning film Bajirao Mastani in
2015, Deepika will now return to the big
screen with Padmavati that is currently
facing severe backlash from the Rajput sect
for distortion of history. With also a bounty
that was declared on the actress by a
certain politician, there were several reports
about the actress planning a skip from this
awards function. However, rubbishing
reports, Deepika decided to take a break
from all the chaos and took off to Sharjah to
spend an evening with the South film
industry.
During the awards night, although Deepika
Padukone remained silent on the ongoing
controversy about her film Padmavati, the
actress got emotional about being
felicitated and even appreciated the current
content of South Indian cinema. Stating that
she is a proud South Indian, Deepika said,
"A very big thank you for this award
especially considering that it honours the
talents of the South film industry. I am very
proud to say that I am a South Indian who
hails from Mangalore. And I have studied in
Bangalore [Bengaluru]. So it really feels
good when I am in the midst of everyone.
Appreciating the kind of amazing films that
release in South Indian industry, Deepika
added, "I had really liked to be a part of it
someday. Furthermore, she also
reminisced about her first film, which
interestingly was a South film the 2006
Kannada movie Aishwarya which featured
her opposite Upendra and Daisy Bopanna,
she further stated, "I haven't got an
opportunity to be a part of the industry
again and hopefully I will do a film here one
day.
Deepika Padukone had a great start this
year with her Hollywood debut opposite
iconic star Vin Diesel in XXX: The Return of
Xander Cage.
