On Wednesday night, Deepika Padukone reposted National Geographic India's social media post on her Instagram wall. Sharing the video, Deepika gave a sneak peek into her conversation in the upcoming show, Mega Icons. In the video, her Love Aaj Kal director, Imtiaz Ali lauded her performances and spoke about how she has evolved through the years. "As she's getting more confident, what's inside her is coming up. And it's very rare," said Imtiaz in the video. After him, Ranveer Singh continued, "She was going through some kind of emotional turmoil that perhaps she was not aware of and it kept evolving the performer in her."

Deepika, dressed in an all-pink formal attire, then spoke about how her film Cocktail allowed her to be truly vulnerable in front of the camera. National Geographic India's official social media unveiled the video with a lengthy caption which read, "The difference between a good actor and a great one is simple: It’s just in the perspective. This is Deepika Padukone's story like it’s never been told before." The all-new season of Mega Icons will premiere on September 20, Sunday, at 7 pm on National Geographic.
