Deepika Padukone Talks About Motherhood
During the Forbes 30/50 Global Summit in Abu Dhabi, she was asked if being a mother will change her approach to taking on roles and deepen the experience of accepting roles. She replied, “Yes, I think motherhood in itself has been so incredible that I’m sure somewhere, if not consciously, subconsciously it will influence the kind of movies and the roles that I choose to do moving forward.
