Deepika Padukone promotes Bangalore Marathon

Deepika Padukone, will be the face of the Bangalore marathon, to be held on May 18, and she is not charging the sponsors a paisa for it.

Sports is in Deepkia’s genes, since she is badminton ace Prakash Padukone’s daughter, and Bengaluru, where her family still resides, is her city.

Deepika, studied at Sophia High School and Mount Carmel College in the city and played badminton for Karnataka, before taking up modeling as her career. As one of Bollywood’s hottest newcomers, she doesn’t have time to pursue sports anymore, but is thrilled at an opportunity to promote a sporting culture
Deepika’s spokesperson reveals that she is not charging any fee to endorse the marathon and adds, “Deepika has a very strong affinity for sports having being an athlete herself, and someday hopes to have a foundation which will support sportspersons across India especially women who need Special training but don’t have the funds for it.

The source adds, “She wants to use her popularity to encourage more people to take part and instill pride in the city Deepika will also flag off the run and might run the dream run herself.”

Deepika admits, “I have been closely associated with sports as I have been an athlete all my life. In Bangalore, it will be nice to get people together to run and help the various causes associated with the marathon.”

“I am going down next week to announce and promote the marathon. I have always had a sports connection in lots of ways since childhood and Bangalore is my home city. Also I have always promoted fitness and health.”

Deepika takes beark to rediscover

We think Deepika Padukone deserves a break so she could finally have some time to herself. Apparently, so does she. The actress has been super busy since releasing 'Chandani Chowk to China' with other projects including movies and commercials. That's why now that she has just completed all her work for the moment as she is looking forward to taking it easy and spending some more time with beau Ranbir Kapoor.

Deepika Padukone isn't one of those Bollywood actresses who believe in signing on to too many projects just to be in the rat race. She has completed her shooting assignments as well as her commercials for which she endorses five brands. A close friend of Deepika Padukone revealed, "Deepika starts shooting for Farhan Akhtar starrer thriller 'Kartik Calling Kartik' [which is] being produced by Farhan's banner Excel Entertainment from April 4th. She has been working constantly for the last few months-that included Saif Ali Khan's home production 'Love Aaj Kal' apart from 'Chandani Chowk to China.' So now before she begins a long cycle of constant work again what with Farhan's film and later Sajid Khan's directorial next, 'Housefull' with Akshay Kumar she wants to take some rest and recharge herself. She is not in a hurry to sign multiple projects right now and is happy having only these two films on her hand."

We can't wait to see what Deepika Padukone's new films are like, but in the mean time we hope she gets some well deserved rest and relaxation. She will resume work for her next film on April 4th, which is still a few weeks away. We want to know what you think about Deepika Padukone taking a break. Do you think that she has deserved it or do you think that there are other actors and actresses that deserve a break more than she does? Let us know all of your thoughts.
