Deepika Padukone comes from a family of achievers. It's no wonder that she is soaring the heights that she is, right? The actress has proven herself to a be a top runner in the film industry and there are no two doubts about it. Deepika even garnered much praise from everyone, the audience and the film fraternity for her role played in her recently-released 'Padmaavat' and currently, she is in London spending time with her family. Deepika’s back injury has relapsed and her next film with Vishal Bharadwaj has been delayed too.

Deepika spoke to a leading daily about her family and especially about her father, Prakash Padukone. She said, "His radiance reflects in his personality. Since my team stays in touch with dad regarding my work, they always talk about him and say, ‘How cute is your father'. He is such a humble person and there is so much goodness in him that it all radiates. I don’t think my sister, Anisha and I could have asked for a better role model than him."

About her future projects, Deepika told a leading daily, "The only way to go is ahead. Sometimes, you need to pause, think and reflect. But the endeavour is always to move forward. I have no idea how it is going to unfold." She added, "There is a difference between pausing and stopping. I feel it is important to pause, think, reflect and then move on. Hopefully, there is only one way to go in life, which is moving forward. In times like these (when one has tasted success), what my parents have always taught me, ‘It is great to celebrate these time, but not for too long'."
