Deepika Padukone recalls her struggle days

I had to figure out my meals and transport, and lug my own bags around.”

The actress further recalled how she used to work late at night and would carry her suitcase across the city in a cab. She also added that she often falls asleep in the cabs. “My mother would be so worried about whether I would get home safe. Today when I look back at that journey, I think, ‘Not bad, girl! You did this and you did it on your own.’ But at that moment, there was no time to reflect,” she added.
