It is a very competitive profession. "Every second girl in India seems to want to make it in the world of glamour, be it movies or modelling, "says Deepika. A combination of focus and strategy can help. "If you have your goals set and you plan well, you are more likely to succeed," she adds.
"Be humble and down-to-earth, no matter how much you achieve. It is important to constantly remind yourself of your roots and where you come from."
Deepika also recommends making time to unwind. "I like spending time with family," she says, and admits to travelling home to Bangalore often. "I like baking and meeting friends."
