Deepika Padukone to celebrate Diwali with family in Bengaluru

Deepika Padukone is heading to Bengaluru to celebrate Diwali with her family members. She says the festival has always been special to them.

“Diwali is the festival of lights, joy and happiness and has always been a very special festival for all of us. So I decided to spend quality time with my family before I immerse myself in ‘Padmavati’,” Deepika said in a statement.

After Diwali, Deepika will soon be starting the shoot for ‘Padmavati’, helmed by director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. She has earlier worked in films like ‘Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’.
