Deepika Padukone praises PM Narendra Modi in new Pariksha Pe Charcha video

Actress Deepika Padukone shared her experiences from her school days, discussing how she conveys her thoughts and engaged with various students during her appearance on the recent episode of Pariksha Pe Charcha. The actor posted a clip from the episode on her Instagram, where she expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the opportunity.

In the video, Deepika was seen interacting with several school children. She began, “Main bohot hi naughty bachchi thi. Main humesha sofas pe, tables pe, chair pe chad ke kudna… Kabhi kabhi hum bohot stress ho jaate hain. Jaise main Maths mein bilkul weak thi aur aaj bhi hoon. Jaise Narendra Modi ji ne apne kitaab Exam Warriors mein like hain, ‘Express never suppress.’ (I was a naughty kid at school who used to jump around sofas, tables and chairs. We also get stressed a lot. Like I was so weak in Maths and still am. Narendra Modi had also shared in his book to express, never suppress) So always express yourself whether it is with your friends, family, parents, teachers. Journaling is a great way to express yourself.”

Deepika also shared her experiences with depression. She engaged with students in an enjoyable activity where she requested each of them to pinpoint one strength and jot it down. She expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister for the chance to engage with the students and wished them all the best for their exams. The complete episode will be available on February 12.

Deepika was most recently spotted in Rohit Shetty’s police film Singham Again in 2024. Her 2018 film Padmaavat was re-released in cinemas last week. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the historical film also features Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh.
