In

personal style and fashion choices. “It’s always comfort over anything else.
You need to feel complete, you need to feel like you are wearing the clothes
and the clothes aren't wearing you," says Deepika. “If I had a choice
between a gown and a sari, I'd wear a sari,” homegirl continued, wearing her Indian
roots on her sleeve.
Twitter
is filled with admiration for the actress.
On
Wednesday, it was reported that Deepika is being paid Rs 12 crores for her
next Bollywood film, Padmavati.
This is not only the biggest salary received by a female star in India thus
far, but also the first over-10 crores paycheque handed out to an actress.
