Actress Deepika Padukone, who lifted maximum awards last year for her performances in Chennai Express and Goliyon Ki Raasleela – Ram Leela, says that awards are important to her, as it is sign of appreciation and hard work. “Awards matter to me. I would have been very disappointed if I was not given any award last year. No matter what we say but at the end of the day, the person who wins the award feels good about it,” the 28-year-old actress told IANS. “It’s a sign of appreciation and hard work.
If you are winning one then you are doing a good job,” she added. Deepika, who made her Bollywood debut in 2007 with Om Shanti Om, also feels that her film Cocktail (2012) was the turning point of her career. “Some of my films didn’t work so I went through that rough phase and I think I made use of that time and realised my mistakes. Instead of being bogged down, I made use of it. Cocktail was the turning point in my career,” said Deepika. Deepika’s latest film with her and Chennai Express co-star Shah Rukh Khan Happy New Year has minted above Rs 44 crore on the opening day.
