The Love Aaj Kal star was also inquired about her desired legacy. She reflected on her mindset, stating, “My father always told me that people remember you for the kind of person you were. Thus, I aspire to be remembered for the person I genuinely am.”
Dua is certainly a constant thought for Deepika. When asked about her last Google search, the actress revealed it pertained to parenting. “It was definitely something like, ‘when will my baby stop spitting up,’ or a similar mom-related query,” she disclosed.
