And obviously, all eyes are on her. Hence, when she gave a rather confusing statement during an interaction, it became a topic of discussion online.

When the 36-year-old actor was asked how would she ‘critique’ the films at the Cannes Festival, Padukone’s response bamboozled everyone.

In a video that has now gone viral, the actor was seen saying, “I think we are all aware of the fact that it is a huge responsibility.”

“But, I think, we have also made a promise to each other yesterday that we are not going to burden ourselves with that responsibility. I think the idea is to remind ourselves of that audience, or of that young child who’s grown up watching movies and been inspired.”

She added, “I think cinema is such a powerful tool, such a powerful medium, it has the ability to impact people’s lives and touch and influence people’s lives.”

“So, I think, for the next two weeks, [we must forget] that we have this burden and this responsibility and actually just enjoy the creative process, that’s sort of what we are all here to do. I think we are all creative people. I don’t think any of us have the capacity to judge, or to critique.”

Watch:

Her response was met with a lot of criticism online. This is what people said:

This is what I did when I didn’t know the answer to a question and had to fill out the answer sheet. Was Deepika able to convince you? Let us know.
