Deepika keen on learning from mistakes

Says boyfriend Ranveer Singh has been a huge influence on her

Actor Deepika Padukone said she is keen on learning from her mistakes and criticism actually works in her favour.

“I don’t get easily satisfied with my work. I am very critical of it. I am very hard on myself. And whatever criticism comes my way, it always works to my advantage, because I am someone who will always take it in a very constructive way,” she said in an interview with Bollywood.com. “I think it boils down to how much I am enjoying my work. I just love being on a film set.”



Her recent film with Ranveer Singh, Bajirao Mastani, turned out to be a massive commercial success. Deepika said when she is acting with her real-life beau, she has a different energy. “It’s up to directors how they bring these energies together.”

She said her boyfriend has been a huge influence on her. “I think sometimes people don’t see or get his intelligence because he is like a joker who is jumping from one place to another. However, he is very sensitive, emotional and most importantly, very grounded. With me, he is a very different person.” She refuted all rumours about their marriage in the ongoing year, saying, “People seem to know more about my life than even I do.”



About her upcoming projects, Deepika said, “I haven’t been officially offered any film.” She said she did read a few scripts in the last couple of months but was not fully convinced.
