Not afraid of owning up my mistakes: Deepika

Mumbai: Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan’s 8th season started with a bang. The controversial couch, which saw Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh kick-starting the new edition, became the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons. The Ramleela actress was subjected to incessant trolling and backlash after she spoke about seeing other guys, too, while being in a relationship with her now-husband.

But Deepika, in a recent interview with a reputed magazine, set the record straight by saying she will never shy away from expressing herself, adding that she’s not afraid to own up to her mistakes and say sorry.
“When I feel really strongly or passionately about something, I don’t think twice about expressing myself. I’ve grown to become a person where I’m not afraid of speaking my truth or owning up to mistakes. I’m not afraid of saying sorry, and I’m okay to be the only person in the room who has a different point of view,” she added.

In the same interview, when she was also asked about the never-ending nepotism debate, she asserted that it has and will exist in the industry. Citing herself as an example, Deepika Padukone said that when you are an outsider 15 or 20 years ago, there’s no other option for them. She adds that it’s an uphill task for any individual trying to make a mark in a field or profession that their parents don’t come from.
