Deepika’s dilemma: Mumbai or Bengaluru?
On Wednesday, Deepika took to Instagram to share a video where she talks about her love for both cities. Deepika responds to the asked question “Bombay or Bengaluru?” while she is getting her hair styled.
When someone behind the camera asks if she misses Corner House, a popular dessert spot from her hometown, Deepika smiles and responds, “I do miss it, but I’m actually in a way glad there isn’t one in Mumbai because that would require a different level of willpower.”
Looking back at her time in Bengaluru, Deepika, who welcomed a baby girl Dua last year, shared, “Whenever I come back to Bengaluru, it feels like home, you know, because this is where I’ve lived a large part of my life. This is where I’ve grown up, my friends, my school, my college, so all of those formative years and those experiences have all been here”.
That being said, her love for Mumbai runs deep. The actor, who is married to Ranveer Singh, admits, “Mumbai again because professionally, that’s where my life began and that’s where home is now, and the energy in Mumbai is very very different, so it’s very difficult to choose one over the other. But I feel like both cities have really influenced my 39 years.”
The post is made even more special with a nostalgic montage featuring rare photos from her childhood, school, and college days in Bengaluru, seamlessly woven together with throwback snaps from her early modelling days in Mumbai.
Captioning the video, she wrote: “A question I get asked ever so often…Bengaluru or Mumbai?”
