Deepika Padukone on facing racial stereotypes in Hollywood; recalls anecdote about an actor telling her, 'You speak English really well'

Updated : Oct 6, 2022, 11:50 IST

Deepika Padukone recently opened up about the racial stereotypes in Hollywood and how the West perceives outsiders. In an interview with a fashion portal, Deepika shared an anecdote and said, "I know this actor… I met him at this Vanity Fair party, and he said ‘Hey by the way, you speak English really well.’ I didn’t even realise what that meant. And when I came back I said, ‘What do you mean you speak English really well?’ Did he have this notion that we don’t speak English?". Deepika also revealed why she hasn't done more Hollywood movies as she added, 'I’ve had my fans ask me why I’ve not done more [global] movies. But that’s not what I’m settling for, because I am — and we are — so much more than that. It would upset me every time I went to the US. Some of the things that are said and some of the things that are done just [make it] so obvious that people don’t know the world outside of the world that they live in.” For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
