Actress Deepika Padukone, who won several awards last year for her performances in Chennai Express and Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela, says that awards are important as they are a sign of appreciation and hard work.
“Awards matter to me. I would have been very disappointed if I was not given any award last year. No matter what we say, but at the end of the day, the person who goes there and wins the award feels good about it,” the 28-year-old said.
“It’s a sign of appreciation and hard work. If you are winning one, then you are doing a good job,” she added.
The actress, who made her Bollywood debut in 2007 with Om Shanti Om, also feels that her 2012 film Cocktail was the turning point in her career.
“Some of my films didn’t work, so I went through a rough phase. I made use of that time and realised my mistakes. In stead of being bogged down, I made use of it. Cocktail was the turning point in my career,” said Padukone, who is currently seen in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Happy New Year.
