Deepika
Padukone made an appearance on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati along with Farah
Khan as part of the ‘Shandaar Shukravaar’ Special. While talking to host
Amitabh Bachchan, she revealed the name of her favourite film.

Deepika took
the opportunity to talk about issues surrounding mental health and the stigma
that surrounds the topic. She opened up on her own struggles and talked about
her mental health foundation ‘Live Love Laugh’.

Padukone
made her debut in the film industry with ‘Om Shanti Om’, a Farah Khan movie. Deepika
shared the screen with Shah Rukh Khan as the lead.

When asked
the name of her favourite film Deepika named ‘Piku’. In the film she co-starred
with Amitabh Bachchan and the late legendary actor Irrfan Khan.

Farrah Khan
had been expecting Padukone to name Om Shanti Om and had a really funny reaction
to Deepika’s revelation. She reacted by saying, “I’m walking out right now. She’s praising me and she’s
telling Piku is her favourite film.”

The
incident led to Deepika backtracking and stating both Om Shanti Om and Piku as
her favourites. She told the audience, “Whatever I am today, the little that I’ve achieved, all that I’ve
learnt about acting and the craft is because of Farah ma’am.”

She was
full of praise for Mr Bachchan too, adding “Amit Ji, who is my on-screen baba, everyone knows that
we did a film together named Piku and even today, when people ask me what’s my
favourite film, I always say Piku.“

Deepika and
Amitabh’s duo will be seen on-screen again in the Hindi remake of the Hollywood
hit The Intern. Deepika will be performing Anne Hathway’s role and Big B will
be filling the shoes of Robert De Niro.
