Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone recently participated in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ program, where she engaged with students about school life and the importance of expressing emotions. She spoke openly about her childhood antics and the academic challenges she faced.
Deepika shared, “I was a very naughty child. I used to jump on sofas, tables, and chairs all the time. Sometimes I would get really stressed, especially because I was very weak in math — and I still am.”
Referring to Prime Minister Modi’s book Exam Warriors, Deepika emphasized the message, “Express, never suppress,” urging students to communicate their emotions openly.
During the session, Deepika conducted a fun activity where students were asked to identify their biggest strength and write it down. She also spoke about her experience with depression and highlighted the importance of self-expression.
Expressing gratitude to Prime Minister Modi for the opportunity, Deepika wished the students success in their exams. The entire episode is set to air on February 12.
On the professional front, Deepika was recently seen in Rohit Shetty’s film Singham Again. She also received praise for her performances in Kalki and Fighter, which were released last year. Currently, she is enjoying motherhood and spending time with her daughter Dua, whom she welcomed in September.
