Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has many memorable performances to her credit but the one that is very close to her heart is Piku. Yes, you read that right! In a recent interview, the leggy lass revealed that her character from Shoojit Sircar’s directorial is very similar to the way she is in real life. Deepika even mentioned that one could literally see her natural skin without makeup in the movie and that Piku is one of those films where she felt completely like herself.
While Deepika was talking about her favourite no-makeup look, she was seen wearing heavy makeup. And, this did not go down well with netizens as they started trolling the Padmaavat actress for her contradictory views. Speaking to Allure magazine, Deepika was quoted saying, “I think a character that I’ve played that is very similar to the way I am in real life is probably Piku, just very natural. You could literally see the skin in the movie. In fact, I’d sit in the makeup chair for not more than 5 or 10 minutes including hair and makeup. And I think that’s one of those films where I felt completely like myself.” ALSO READ: Deepika Padukone Gets Brutally TROLLED For Her Outfit As She Flies Out Of Mumbai; Netizens Ask, ‘Konse School Ki Uniform Hai Yeh’
