Deepika Padukone borrowed Rs 10,000 to shoot portfolio, says mother was strict
The Story in Brief
Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has recalled borrowing Rs 10,000 from her mother Ujjala to shoot a portfolio during her modelling days, promising to repay the money and make her proud. She shared the anecdote in a chat with Ellen DeGeneres, adding that her father, badminton player Prakash Padukone, always told her to ‘follow your heart’. The actress said she knew by age 16 that she wanted to act.
The Economic Times reports Padukone is now the highest-paid actress in Bollywood with a net worth of Rs 500 crore. She made her acting debut in the Kannada film ‘Aishwarya’ in 2006 and her Bollywood debut in ‘Om Shanti Om’ (2007) opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Her upcoming film ‘King’, also starring SRK, is highly anticipated.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources carry near-identical wire copy built around Deepika Padukone’s anecdote of borrowing Rs 10,000 from her mother. The Times of India leads with the Rs 10,000 loan and her childhood ambition, then lists her filmography. The Economic Times frames the same anecdote around her current Rs 500 crore net worth and devotes more space to her luxury lifestyle, including properties and cars. Neither outlet deviates from neutral-reporting: both simply repeat the same story, one with a softer celebrity-memory lead, the other with a wealth-angle lead. The only factual difference is the Economic Times’ additional mention of her Kannada debut in ‘Aishwarya’ (2006) and her mother’s discipline, drawn from a separate interview. The coverage is uniformly straight, with no editorial stance on any government or political issue.
