Deepika Padukone Latest News: Not Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni; this cricketer is Deepika Padukone’s all-time favourite player, Deepika Padukone is all over the internet after the release of the trailer of her film Chhapaak.
Deepika Padukone is ruling the internet after the release of the trailer of her upcoming film Chhapaak. The trailer has garnered praise from all quarters -- for the representation of an acid attack survivour and the struggles she has to go through on a daily basis. Deepika is Badminton legend Prakash Padukone's daughter and that naturally makes her an avid follower of sports too -- besides being good at it.
Deepika on Wednesday confessed to being a huge fan of cricketing legend Rahul Dravid.
"My all-time favourite cricketer is Rahul Dravid. A lot of my idols are not what they have done in the sport and the game, but how they have conducted themselves outside. For me, he is somebody I have admired and looked up to, and he is from Bangalore," Deepika, on Star Sports' pre-match show Nerolac Cricket Live, said.
Also known as Mr Dependable, Rahul Dravid is known for always having uplifted the spirit of the game -- beside being one of the most successful batsmen of the world.

Deepika also emphasised the importance of sports in life.
"How much we focus on our physical strength -- our mental strength and mental endurance -- is equally important if not more. At times you feel your body is not keeping up with the mind. I think sometimes it's the mind that takes over -- and nurturing that is very important. A young athlete will figure that along the way, but they should pay attention to that -- the grit, courage, determination and spirit is important," she said.
Deepika Padukone will soon make her debut as a producer in Chhapaak, directed and co-produced by Raazi helmer Meghna Gulzar. The actress plays real-life acid attack survivour Laxmi Agarwal in the film. She will also be seen playing the role of Romi Bhatia, Kapil Dev’s wife in Kabir Khan directorial ’83. The film stars her husband Ranveer Singh in the lead.
