As a child, Deepika liked participating in sports & drama

Actress Deepika Padukone has won hearts of many with her acting skills, but she has revealed that as a child she was more interested in sports. “In school I was always interested in extra-curricular activities. I did not enjoy studying as much as I used to like taking part in sports, drama and performing,” Deepika told reporters at Nickelodeon Kids' Awards show in Mumbai recently.

The ‘Piku’ actress feels the children today are quite confident and talented. “I remember when we were kids we were not as confident (as kids of today) and did not have (so many) opportunities. “Today kids have lot of opportunities and they are extremely confident. It's nice to see their talent being appreciated,” she said. Meanwhile, Deepika is busy working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ‘Padmavati’ in which she will be seen alongside Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.
