Padukone was awarded the Powerful Performer of the Year trophy for her film ‘Chhapaak’, based on the life of an acid attack survivor. Following her win, the actress took to Instagram to post a powerful message. “Chhapaak truly has been the most difficult film of my career... Having said that, Chhapaak for me is not just a film. It is a movement; that has challenged the definition and our understanding of ‘Beauty’. Famous American Swiss Psychiatrist Elisabeth Ross said, the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known suffering,known struggle,known loss, known defeat...and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion,gentleness and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. I dedicate tonight’s award to Laxmi Agarwal and every single acid attack survivor who on this most incredible journey have shown us all what beauty truly means!” Image Credit: Instagram.com/deepikapadukone/
