During a conversation with Evening Standard, Deepika was asked if such incidents are possible in Bollywood, she said, “We’re in the same position as the rest of the world, I think we’re all in this together. There’s so much more awareness. There are so many people who speak up and I think in the same way that we see the wheels moving in the right direction globally, I see the same thing happening in India as well.”

The Bajirao Mastani actress also spoke about dealing with her fair share of sexism. “There were lots of things I was advised [to do]. To get a boob job, do the beauty pageants. They felt it was the right way to be recognised or picked up by a Bollywood director or producer. It might be an easier way to achieve what you want to achieve. But I haven’t been that person; I’ve always followed my gut,” she added.
On the work front, there are reports that Deepika has signed a wonder woman superhero flick. Well, the official announcement is awaited.
