Sabyasachi Mukherjee is all praises for Deepika Padukone. At a recent Global Leadership Summit, Deepika and Sabyasachi came together for a session that captured the essence of India’s growing global influence in art, fashion and cinema. The conversation revolved around leadership, creativity and cultural identity. As per audiences at the event, it offered a rare moment of mutual admiration between the two.

During the discussion, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, spoke about Deepika, her global influence and her work ethic. Calling her the most bankable and the most famous person from India, he said, “The fact is that she is probably the most bankable and the most famous person from India – when we see her at the Olympics, when we see her at the Oscars, I don’t think there’s a greater brand ambassador or a culture ambassador for the country.”

He added, “I think Deepika should officially represent a whole lot of us in some of the biggest stages all over the world because that kind of representation matters.” Speaking directly to Deepika, he said, “I hope Deepika, you continue do that more and more and more.”
