She said: “I was 14 or 16 years old and there’s this street called Brigade road in Bangalore which used to be very popular for weekend hangouts. I remember one evening my family and I were walking down the street.”

“We had probably finished eating at a restaurant. My sister and my father walked ahead and my mother and I were walking behind. And this man brushed past me. I could have, at that point, ignored, pretended like it didn’t happen.” But Deepika did something different.

“I turned back, followed this person, caught him by the collar in the middle of the street slapped him and walked away. From that day on my parents knew that I could take care of myself,” she added. In fact, the character of Rani Padmini also is a strong and powerful woman same as in real life of Deepika.
