She said, “I think where I'm at in my life right now is how do I manage my time as a mother, as a new mother, with getting back to--and I'm sure there's some incredible women here who can give me some wise, some wisdom, whatever-- but to be able to manage my daughter and her life and getting back to work without feeling guilt. I think that is something I'm figuring out. I won't say I am struggling with, but I'm still figuring it out.”

Deepika also opened up about motherhood and it’s influence of her choice of future work, “Yes, I think motherhood in itself has been so incredible that I'm sure somewhere, if not consciously, subconsciously it will influence the kind of movies and the roles that I choose to do moving forward. Having said that, I do believe that I've been pretty aware and conscious even before motherhood.”

Deepika Padukone was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Again’. There are also talks of getting her back for Kalki 2. Recently there were also rumours about Deepika making her comeback with Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh for a music video choreographed by Farah Khan.
