In a heartfelt TV commercial for Colgate’s ‘Andar se Strong’ campaign, Deepika Padukone and her mom opened up on fears and how Deepika did what she felt was right always
Ujjala recalls Deepika’s spirited youth, sharing, “Jab bhi teacher dekhte the mujhe complain shuru hote the, ‘ohh Mrs. Padukone, aaj Deepika ne ye kiya, wo kiya, bahut baat karti hai, iske sath jhagra karti hai, uske sath mara mari karti hai.’” This reflection captures the ups and downs of adolescence, highlighting the challenges of fitting in during her teenage years.
Deepika, with a confident smile, interjects, “Mai kisi chiz se darti nai,” demonstrating her fearless attitude even at a young age. However, her mother shares a more vulnerable side of their journey, recalling the anxiety of relocating to a new city: “Darr toh lagta tha kyuki it was a new city and she came with 2 suitcases.” Deepika humorously corrects her, saying, “A. One suitcase,” showcasing her lightheartedness amid serious conversation.
