In the video, Deepika Padukone was answering the question, “What`s an Oscar win that felt personal for you?” While reacting to this question, the actress said,
“India has been robbed of the Oscars many times. Many, many deserving movies, I feel, have been snubbed. Whether it’s movies, whether it’s talent… But I remember being in the audience, and when they announced RRR, I got emotional. Outside of being an Indian, I had really nothing to do with that movie, but that was a huge, huge moment. That felt very, very personal.”

The video also included compiled glimpses of Payal Kapadia`s All We Imagine As Light, Kiran Rao`s Laapataa Ladies, Rahi Anil Barve`s Tumbbad, and Ritesh Batra`s The Lunchbox. While all these Indian films have been critically acclaimed, they didn`t receive any recognition at the Oscar ceremony.

By being the first-ever Indian to be signed by global luxury fashion houses Louis Vuitton and Cartier, she set the stage for the country’s growing influence globally and has further paved the way for other Indian celebrity faces to join the wave in subsequent years. Stunning in a timeless, classic ensemble reminiscent of vintage charm, Deepika slays as she marks her appearance overseas yet again.
