Deepika Padukone is one of the most beautiful actresses we have in Bollywood. The leggy beauty entered Bollywood in 2007, and has now made her way to the list of one of the highest paid actresses in B-town. It’s a well-known fact that Deepika is a very good badminton player too all thanks to her father Prakash Padukone (who is a former badminton player of International repute).

Deepika recently launched a book and during the media interaction, when she was asked about why she chose acting over playing badminton, she said, “The same way that you want to be an artist and a scientist. You can achieve both. You feel like if you set your heart on something, you can do that and if you set it on something else, you can do that too. When I was growing up, even before I realised, I started playing professional badminton.”

The ‘Padmavat’ actress further added, “But its when I was a teenager, I realised that maybe this is not what I want to continue. And every time I watched movies, I felt that this is where I belong. It was my gut that told me that I wanted to be an actor than an athlete. So I followed my gut.”

Wow! Deepika is an inspiration for everyone out there and hats off to her parents for supporting her dream. On the work front, Deepika will be next seen in Meghna Gulzar’s ‘Chhapaak’ which she is also co-producing.
