"I watched a lot of films starring Hemaji and Helen, for instance Seeta Aur Geeta and Jewel Thief, to notice how they were made. In the films of that time, everything was over the top — the emotions were quite exaggerated, though I enjoy the originality of the 70s era films. The actors were more graceful and their body language was completely different from today's actors," Deepika said. "I don't count myself as a big star yet, there is a long way for me to go. I think my father handled success very well and it is in my genes to be humble," the daughter of ace badminton player Prakash Padukone added. The doe-eyed actress has struck fame with her debut film and is overjoyed. "Honestly, when we were shooting for the film, I had never thought that it would be a huge hit. I just gave my 100 per cent to it. Also, when you are working for a film, you feel you have given it your best. However, when you later see your work, you find so many things that need improvement. I think it is just the start," said a candid Deepika. www.deccan.com |
