Deepika Padukone is interested to do a movie on sports

Deepika Padukone is the daughter of Prakash Padukone, the top badminton player in India. Deepika Padukone was also a state-level badminton player back in her school days. If she had tried harder, she might have taken the top slot in the sports but she turned to modeling instead.

Deepika Padukone started modeling at the age of eighteen and eventually reigned over ramps. It was Farah Khan, who first approached her and the rest is history. Still, Deepika Padukone feels that modeling has been a major preparation ground for her. It has given her the necessary confidence to face the camera. If she had directly got into acting, things could have been different for her. She thinks that modeling and acting are two different professions.

Modeling is a respected profession in India. After Aishwarya Rai and Sushmita Sen came into movies, modeling has become a major platform to get into the film industry. Interestingly, Deepika Padukone did not even thought of becoming an actress in the beginning. For her, it was a natural transition.

Today, Deepika Padukone has got name and fame in the entertainment world but she has remained an avid sports fan all the time. Deepika believes that India has a great culture of sports. In a recent press conference, Deepika Padukone said that if she gets a good script, then, she would definitely do a movie on sports.
