About acting classes:
In the 3 months I have spent here I feel I have learnt a lot. I have not only improved as an actor but also as an individual / human being. All I can say is that a lot of knowledge has been given to us about acting, which will show only with time and experience. It is not something that can happen over night. But the finer details about me as a person and the changes in me are more visible. The classes have not only taught me the details of acting but groomed me overall and has made me a more confident person.

What's the private Deepika like?:
"I'm a shy person. I contradict my own profession, because I'm an introvert in a very glamourous world. I'm not snobbish. I guess, I've got a lot of values from my parents. Right now, I'm nervous. This year is a turning point. It's a dream world of interviews, travelling, meeting people -- I'm loving it all. When I'm not working, I chill-out with friends or fly home to my parents in Bangalore. It calms me. Life's good at the moment. Real good."
