Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh got married in a private ceremony on 14th and 15th November, 2018 in Italy and now that their wedding festivities are over, the duo have returned back to work! While Ranveer Singh is busy with his movie Simmba, that is to release soon, Deepika Padukone was recently seen at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2018 here on Thursday! At the event Deepika Padukone spoke about her upcoming movie where she will be seen playing the role of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal in Meghna Gulzar’s yet untitled film!
Deepika Padukone will also turn producer with the film. She said, “We will start working on the film early next year. I think it’s a story that needs to be told. It’s a very important story and it’s a true life incident, so hopefully good things will come out of it.” Talking about the fame she enjoys in Bollywood, she said, “It obviously feels nice because it’s a result of hard work. It is not something that has fallen in my lap. “I think today, I will pass on the same message to kids who are present over here that to work hard, believe in your dreams and have fun while you are at it. Life is not only about coming first or being at the top, but it’s about having fun and enjoying the process.”
Laxmi was attacked at the age of 15 and she had to undergo several surgeries. Later, she took up the job of helping acid attack survivors and continues to promote campaigns to stop acid attacks. She even received the US State Department’s International Women of Courage Award in 2014 from the former US First Lady Michelle Obama.
