Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone is gearing up to share her journey with her fans through National Geographic show, Mega Icons. The channel released a teaser from the episode which shows Deepika opening up about how she transformed from a shy person to the one who owns up the screen with her performances. In the video, the Bajirao Mastani actress can be seen saying, “I think my being shy came in the way of me. Just allowing myself and freeing myself in front of the camera, I think Cocktail allowed me that experience for the first time of truly being vulnerable in front of the camera. And once I felt that joy and that high, there was no stopping after that.”
For Deepika Padukone, Cocktail was a path-breaking film which earned her mass popularity and critical acclaim for her performance as Veronica. The channel shared the teaser and wrote, “The difference between a good actor and a great one is simple: It’s just in the perspective. This is @deepikapadukone’s story like it’s never been told before. An all-new season of Mega Icons premieres 20th September, Sunday 7 PM on National Geographic. #NatGeoIndia #MegaIcons @natgeoindia.”
Ranveer also makes and appearance in the teaser and says, “She was going through some kind of emotional turmoil that perhaps even she was not aware of. And it kept evolving the performance in her. It started coming out in her performances.”
In the episode, Ranveer also addressed Deepika’s battle with depression. “She had a blackout and she had fallen very suddenly and when she came back to her senses, she couldn’t stop bawling. It was very very scary,” he said, as per the report.
