After foraying into Hollywood with XXX: Return of Xander Cage, being a jury member at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, and a presenter at the 95th Academy Awards, Deepika Padukone is gracing the latest cover of a reputed international magazine. “My mission has always been to make a global impact while still being rooted in my country,” she said in an interview to the publication. The actor, whose last outing, Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, created a new box office record for Hindi cinema on the domestic circuits and also in overseas territories, emphasised on the country’s growing influence in the world. She avered, “Indian cinema has transcended borders and Indians are everywhere, so the fame goes wherever you go.” Asked about what she hopes to achieve next, Deepika maintained, “This is India’s moment. So how can I marry the best of the East and the West? There’s the India with our roots, our heritage, our history, but there’s also a new and young India that’s emerging. It’s these two Indias coming together that I find really fascinating at this moment.”
