Deepika Padukone has always been vocal about voicing strong and bold opinions. She never hesitated to share something that felt right. She is also the first star to talk about depression in the public space openly. Meanwhile, she opened up about India’s Oscar snubs at a Fashion event.
While getting ready for the event, Deepika is seen sharing her views of how India has been “snubbed” many times of the Oscars even when there were many deserving films on the list.
“India has been robbed of the Oscars many times. Many, many deserving movies I feel like have been snubbed. Whether its movies, whether its talent… But I remember being in the audience, and when they announced RRR, I got emotional. Outside of being an Indian, I had really nothing to do with that movie, but that was a huge, huge moment. That felt very, very personal.”
RRR won in the Best Original Song category for Naatu Naatu in 2023. Deepika Padukone introduced Naatu Naatu with a speech highlighting its cultural significance on the Academy stage that year.
Not just Deepika but there are many other actors who feel the same way. With each passing year, the kind of films that are being ignored at the international stage is heartwarming.
