Deepika Padukone says, 'It should have happened much earlier' on being selected as a jury member
Deepika Padukone is making the entire nation proud by being the representative of India at the Cannes Film Festival. It’s no big deal for the actress to get overwhelmed by her achievement. During her interaction with a media personnel, she shared her honest views, feelings regarding her selection as a Jury member.
“After being an actor for 15 years, for your work to finally be recognised on a global platform such as this, and to be able to represent the country, obviously, there is a sense of gratitude and being extremely overwhelmed,” she said.
The global actress also highlighted that “this is where we belong”. “And it feels like that’s finally happening now. It should have happened much earlier, but I guess, it took its own time. It’s taken generations of work from different people to get us to this place,” Deepika had added.
The Pathaan actress further expressed her thoughts on being the member after walking the red carpet at Cannes. “I think, as a jury member, there is a different sort of mindset that I will be going with. So, you know, one has to sort of prepare accordingly,” she said in conclusion.
