Deepika Padukone Says Fame Is Not All That Important To Me.

Actress Deepika Padukone, who won the
Entertainer of the Year honour at the Hello
Hall of Fame Awards, says fame is not that
important to her.
The Padmaavat star attended the awards
event in a stylish white ensemble here on
Sunday.
Deepika told media persons: "I won't say
fame is all that important for me, but I
would definitely like to say that the kind of
industry I am working in and the kind of
work that I am doing, so money and fame
are a part of what I do, and I can't ignore it.

"I don't think you can ignore the fame and
the attention. It is the by-product of the
work that I do. I love my work. In the last
ten years, the work that I have done... I got
so much to learn and I have enjoyed my
work. And in future, I hope that I keep on
enjoying the work that I do.
She also spoke about her Piku co-star Irrfan
Khan, who has been diagnosed with a rare
illness and has been missing from action
since the last couple of weeks. She is to
feature with him in a Vishal Bhardwaj
movie.
"I think we should always pray for people
and their good health. If his (Irrfan's) health
is not best at this point, I think it is
important for all of us to pray, not just for
him, but for everyone.
"I always say a small little prayer for myself
and everyone around. Yes, I think the last
couple of weeks have been emotionally
challenging, but yes, I think we all should
say a little prayer, she said, adding that she
has had some of her most special
experiences as an actor with Irrfan.
"I think like he has requested that there are
times when people need to be left alone for
sometime and figure their lives out... We
should respect the space they have
requested for and hope for the best.
Deepika herself suffered aggravated pain in
the neck. But she said she is well and there
is nothing to worry about.
"All is good on the health front. I got so
many wishes from fraternity and media.
Things are back to normal and I will be
starting my physiotherapy soon. There is
nothing to worry about.
