In the run-up to Lok Sabha polls, actor Deepika Padukone has urged people to register their vote and do their bit for the country. The actor was speaking on the sidelines of Zee Cine Awards 2019 ceremony Tuesday, where she won the Best Actor trophy for Sanjay Leela Bhansali\u2019s Padmaavat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is very important for everyone to vote. Who you vote for is a personal choice. I think everyone has various experiences through the government. Some people are positively impacted, some people are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt the end of the day, your country comes first and your responsibility as a citizen is the most important thing. I would encourage everyone to go out there and vote,\u201d Deepika told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 33-year-old actor was among 20 personalities from Indian cinema who were last week called upon by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to use their influence to create voter awareness ahead of the 2019 general elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think awards are everything, it definitely is very encouraging. Box office is extremely important and so are awards. But above all of that, love of the audience is the most important thing. I have been fortunate to have been a part of some amazing films,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The actor said she agreed to take on the part as she believes it is important for the youth to be part of movements that bring about change.\u201cThe future is in our hands. In a way, we are responsible the way film industry moves forward from here on. It was a calculated move on my part and as well as the board,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI read an article that said I was appointed chairperson because of my position. That is precisely why we did that. If one of the most prestigious film academies can benefit from my position at the board, then be it. Indian cinema is at the brink of beautiful global recognition, if it hasn\u2019t happened already. I think there is a lot more to happen and hopefully we will take it to a new level,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
