The actor quipped, "I woke up feeling a sense of gratitude on the day when my film released. This film taught me a lot. It has been my most visceral, indelible and delicious experience as an actor. I am truly grateful.” The Om Shanti Om actor also spoke about her process of acting, mentioning that an artist needs to be true to the narrative and the moment. Stating that not every day is the same for an actor, Deepika said she takes 'each day, each scene' as it comes. Her attempt is to always concentrate on the present and 'go with the flow'.
"Honestly, one does not step on the set thinking that it is going to be a memorable or an iconic scene. One should be true to the narrative and true to the moment and be honest as much as possible. Let’s not forget that for an actor, every day is not the same day. Some days you wake up feeling extremely low but you have to perform an energetic scene…other days you have great energy but you have to do a scene that requires the opposite but that’s the job of being an actor”, she quipped.
