Deepika Padukone: Bollywood star admits he made xXx actress CRY on purpose

It’s no surprise many people think Deepika is perfect.

Not only is the former model extremely beautiful, she also comports herself with great dignity even when she is passionately fighting for the causes closest to her heart.

However, not everyone believes her perfect facade is a good thing. 

Actor Anupam Kher admitted this week he was determined to break her composure – so much so that he says “she started crying!”

But why would he do that?

National Teacher’s Day has been celebrated in India this week and Kher has become a renowned acting coach.

Asked to share what he had taught to any of his famous pupils, he said; “I remember one about Deepika. She was a very successful model before she joined my school.

“She was good at everything, punctual, and would do things with finesse. I had told her ‘you are here for three months, you can’t take a break’. I felt that she wanted to do everything perfectly.

“My point is, acting is not about perfection, it’s about the rough edges too.”

Kher decided he needed to find Deepika’s rough edges.

He added: “One day, to break her composure of being a perfectionist, I gave her an exercise in improvisation.

“I told her ‘you work as a bai (maid) in a house, there is nothing called ‘perfection’ (about her)’. She was spick and span about mannerisms, but her character wouldn’t know how to use a fork and a knife. That went on for 45 minutes… till I felt she had discovered (new things). 

“I think she started crying!”

As well as worldwide star Deepika Padukone, Kher has also trained the likes of Varun Dhawan and Kirti Kulhari.

Deepika found global fame in the xxx franchise with Vin Diesel, and fans are eagerly waiting for news about xxx 4. In the meantime, she has just completed filming the cricket drama ’83 with her husband Ranveer Singh. 

Next year will also see Deepika star as acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal in Chhapaak.

Recent reports suggest she is no longer the favourite to star in the Bollywood version of Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, Satte Pa Satta, but she is still set to star in Sapna Didi about a notorious Mumbai crime queen.
