Having seen the life of a sportsman at close quarters and living with an internationally acclaimed player, her father former Badminton player Prakash Padukone, it helped her understand the role of Romi Dev better.

Talking about one quality she admires about Romi's muse she said, “I like her candour. Romi ji is someone who is extremely honest and when she needs to express herself, she does it with a lot of dignity. I like the way she conducts herself with so much grace”.
When asked whether her real life chemistry with her husband Ranveer Singh will reflect onscreen considering this is their fifth movie together, Deepika said that as actors, they don't think about their personal equation while doing the film. One is only focused on the character and the moment. She said that you only live the character. She added that their personal equation won't have any part to play in the film.
