One of the most successful and popular actors in Bollywood today, Deepika has had a hell of an year with her stellar performance in 'Padmaavat' and receiving recognition in the west. In a recent interview, the actress talked about the sexual harassment she faced early in her career. A victim of depression, Dippy said, “There were lots of things I was advised. 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.”
When asked about Hollywood's #MeToo movement, 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.”
