Her recent interview has started a new discussion in Bollywood about the importance of staying true to one’s values, even when big pay cheques are involved.
The actor revealed that she turned down high-paying films because they did not feel right to her. According to her, authenticity is the only thing she does not compromise on. She explained that some offers come with massive financial rewards, but if a project does not match her beliefs or creative instincts, she would rather say no. Her honesty has been widely appreciated by fans, who praised her for choosing meaningful characters over money.
Padukone also reflected on her journey and said that she has made decisions in the past that now make her wonder what she was thinking. However, she believes those choices were part of learning and helped her become more confident about the path she follows today.
Even though she recently stepped away from Spirit and Kalki 2898 AD, the actress remains actively involved in major upcoming projects. She is currently shooting for King with Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan, and others. She will also be seen in Atlee’s next action film alongside Allu Arjun, one of South India’s biggest stars.
Her exit from Spirit and Kalki 2898 AD had created curiosity across social media, but her new statements explain why she chooses roles carefully. Fans now have a clearer understanding of how she plans her career by putting honesty, creativity, and personal values above everything else.
