Deepika took to her Instagram account to share a video in which the actress, who is seen getting ready for a Louis Vuitton show in Paris, recalls being at the Academy Awards when RRR won Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu in 2023.
The actress also expressed her disappointment, stating how India has been “robbed of the Oscars” too many times despite its rich cinematic heritage and the talent present in the industry.
“India has been robbed of the Oscars many times. Many, many deserving movies, I feel, have been snubbed. Whether it’s movies, whether it’s talent… But I remember being in the audience when they announced RRR, and I got emotional. Outside of being an Indian, I had nothing to do with that movie, but that was a huge, huge moment. That felt very, very personal,” Deepika said in the video.
Deepika attended the Louis Vuitton show at the Cour Carre du Louvre. The actress is the first Indian to be signed as a global ambassador for both Louis Vuitton and Cartier.
