Shakun Batra commends Deepika Padukone on her professional and personal life balance: “There’s a reason she lives in Prabhadevi”

Shakun Batra recently spoke about his views on Deepika Padukone and illuminated on her positive approach towards navigating the entertainment industry. In a discussion with Ranveer Allahbadia, he acknowledged about her choice to reside in Prabhadevi as a calculated decision as it keeps her connected to her roots and gives a wide berth from the industry’s overwhelming noise.

“There’s a reason she lives in Prabhadevi. She wanted to make sure she doesn’t get lost in the noise of the industry. She surrounds herself with people who are from outside of the industry. You can see she can very easily cut out the stardom from her day-to-day life,” he emphasised on how she has an amazing ability to separate her stardom from her everyday life and her strength of always staying grounded.

“What I have found fascinating is just the way the industry is structured, movies are structured. They put you on a pedestal and then what happens is you start to, you have to start at some level believing that you’re better than the others and it depends how real you want to stay or how much you want to give into that sense of self-esteem, which I think is a false self-esteem,” he said. He also expressed how the structure of the industry often grows on the actors leading them to a sense of superiority that develops and challenge their sense of self-esteem.

The director had earlier collaborated with the actress for the first time in 2022 film Gehraiyaan which also starred Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday and Dhairya Karwa. For the time being, Deepika is all set to welcome her first child with actor Ranveer Singh which was announced earlier this year. She will also soon be seen in Rohit Shetty’s Singham again alongside Ranveer Singh, Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor and many more.
