Deepika Padukone weighs in on airport looks

Airport looks are also a big phenomenon in the entertainment industry. Since there are paparazzi members ready to snap celebrities during their journey, the actors make sure to bring their stylish foot forward at the airport. Talking about the same, the actress said, “Nobody wakes up looking gorgeous. I have a professional who puts together my looks for me. But I don’t do it because I know there will be paparazzi photographers in places; I just like to dress up. I feel good when I look good and I enjoy getting ready. ”

She also added her husband, Ranveer Singh also likes that she likes to dress up. Deepika added, “Ranveer loves that I enjoy getting dressed up, too. But to be honest, I dress for myself. Anything related to fashion and Deepika Padukone exists because I love clothes.” She concluded by asserting that she is a professional model and so dressing up is second nature to her.
