Deepika Padukone: I have never been to college

From thereon there was no looking back for Deepika as she is now considered the highest paid actress in India and also a global icon. 


Talking about fame and success, Deepika says, "Overnight I had wings to fly. My parents are absolutely okay with what I do. Maybe they felt confident about the way that they've brought me up. While some relationships have grown stronger. A lot of people could not handle the success I got. But I wasn't upset.


Deepika also made a candid confession which took people by surprise. "I haven't gone to college. I just managed to finish 11-12 grade because I was already a successful model. I tried 1 year of my degree and distance education that didn't happen. My parents had an issue because they wanted me to have a degree. So I'm just 12 th passed, " she adds. Currently Deepika Padukone is looking forward for the release of her magnum opus film 'Padmavati'.
