I'm not a celebrity: Deepika Padukone

She made her first big screen appearance with superstar Shah Rukh Khan, in her second film she worked under the prestigious Yash Raj banner and her third release saw her teaming up with Akshay Kumar,

and yet Deepika Padukone doesn't consider herself a celebrity.

"I don't consider myself a celebrity. I believe that I've had a fantastic upbringing and I believe my parents have kept me really grounded and rooted.

I hope that success never gets to me, " said Deepika whose "Chandni Chowk To China" has just hit the screens.

"I've seen my father (badminton champion Prakash Padukone) handle success really well and I hope I continue in the same way because I believe that fame and money are secondary things. The main thing is to enjoy your work, " she added.

The 23-year-old was applauded for her performances in her maiden venture "Om Shanti Om" followed by "Bachna Ae Haseeno".

She is currently working in Imtiaz Ali's "Production No. 1".

ur funny😆

I read this interview before and this interview has been taken before CCTC premieres and all that but these articles made it new to you guys.

So what if CCTC flop, unlike other actors whose movies flop and their name also flop. That's not deepika, her movie might flop but her name always will raise to the top because talent is always appreciated. She'll prove that you don't have to be a fair skin to be called beautiful😉

so she was always back on earth even with a huge success of OSO😛

Deepika is very evil person, she'll never be down to earth😆 but yeah if others say "I'm not a celebrity" wow what a down to earth people they are because they feel that they are just a regular person like us😳

😆😆😆
