Amidst her pregnancy, Deepika Padukone shared a post on her Instagram story, centering around the concept of success and burnout. Originally posted by author Arianna Huffington, the post read, “Look around where you are; see what you can do to change the definition of success. So women coming after you won't feel like they have to choose between success and burnout.” The quote sheds light on the actress' definition of what it means to be successful.
Deepika Padukone has consistently demonstrated her ambitious nature with grace. In an interview at the Jio MAMI 17th Mumbai Film Festival, the actress confidently stated that she does not “give up easily.” “The minute you tell me that I can't do something, I work that much harder to prove, not to people but to myself, that I can do it. It can be anything,” she said.
Despite achieving such stardom, Deepika Padukone remains strongly rooted, not losing sight of her value system. In another interview, the actress opined that without happiness, money means nothing to her. “I do what I do, I do what I love. The money happens to come. You can have everything in the world, but if you're not happy, you can do nothing with it," she said. For the actress, spending time with family and friends while being “creatively satisfied” in her professional field are the aspects that matter to her the most.
