The International Advertising Association (IAA) hosting the IAA World Congress in Kochi had Deepika Padukone as one of the speakers on Friday, to conclude the event. Dressed in a striped suit piece designed by Pauleka and styled by Shaleena Nathani, Deepika entered the stage like a boss lady. Watch some videos and pictures from the event here -

In this video, Deepika opened up about trolling and social media. She said, "I'm sure I get trolled but its not in my nature to react to negative things. Be honest and be real on social media. Also, it is not necessary to engage in every conversation. My social media posts are authentic and mean something to me.  Social media is a great way for me to engage with my fans and know what's happening in the world but one must know when to cut off."

Also, talking about her next film 'Chappak', based on the acid attack survivor, Deepika said: "The business of cinema doesn't excite me as much as how this medium can reach out and influence people so well."

Deepika also got clicked with former World No. 1 Tennis player Andre Agassi. Check out their picture here -

Deepika was recently awarded the Lokmath Maharashtrian of The Year award. At the event, the actress was questioned if she wants to join politics and Deepika revealed that while she doesn’t have an in-depth understanding about politics, however, if she ever chooses to join, she would like to be the Minister of Swachh Bharat because she is obsessed with cleanliness. The 'Padmaavat' actress also revealed that when she was a kid, her friends would constantly ask her to come to stay over at their place. At first, she thought it's because they love her company but the reality was totally different! She later found out that those people just wanted to get her to clean and organize their stuff. Hilarious, isn't it?

On the professional front, Deepika has started shooting for 'Chappak' alongside Vikrant Massey.
