The actress, who was last seen in a cameo appearance in Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, had once roasted the journalist for this reason.

When Puriee said, “I can’t normally sit through films like Chennai Express, which are just mindless.” Deepika roasted her and asked, “You think your couch is very exciting?”
Meanwhile, during the same conclave, Deepika Padukone opened up about her relationship status with then-boyfriend and now-husband Ranveer Singh. She had said at the event, “I’m at a stage when I don’t want to rush into anything. For a young girl, I should have the option of knowing a person and to be sure about the person you land up with. I understand the scrutiny of people, wanting to know about us.”
While speaking about success, she said, “I don’t think success or winning has a particular formula. Success comes from believing in yourself and not being someone you are expected to be.”
