Deepika Padukone to do THIS after the coronavirus pandemic ends

We are not the only ones following the complete lockdown imposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Bollywood celebrities are also staying at their homes practising self-isolation and quarantining.

Having said that, it might be a little difficult for some celebs to stay put as they are always out and about. But since it is about fighting the deadly Coronavirus, which has claimed close to 40,000 worldwide, celebrities are following every guideline issued by the government.


The ongoing lockdown has been hard on every one of us. But for those who do not live with their families, the lockdown seems to be excruciating. Actress Deepika Padukone, who has been in Mumbai with husband Ranveer Singh, is missing her parents and sister who are far away in Bangalore.

We all know that Padukone is extremely close with her family. She is missing them solidly. Talking to a publication, the Padmaavat (2018) actress says that the first thing she will do after the coronavirus pandemic comes to an end is visit her family.

“I was actually scheduled to travel to Bangalore to see them and then leave for our schedule (Shakun Batra’s film) — we were going to be out for like two months. I think that is probably the first thing I will do, which is just go and see them in flesh and blood,” she says.

Deepika Padukone was last seen in Chhapaak (2020), which she co-produced as well. Her next film is with Dharma Productions. The untitled flick, to be directed by Shakun Batra of Kapoor & Sons (2016) fame, also features Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday in important roles. The actress also co-produces and stars in the official remake of Nancy Meyers’ Hollywood biggie The Intern (2015).

Joaquin Pedro Valdes on finding his place in London and challenging stereotypes in British theatre

Highlights

  • Filipino actor Joaquin Pedro Valdes left a career in filmmaking and advertising to pursue musical theatre in the UK, following his first love for the stage.
  • Now playing Benny in RENT, he wants audiences to see the character as a complicated human being rather than simply the villain.
  • Valdes believes Asian representation in British theatre has improved, but says producers and creative teams still have a long way to go.

Filipino actor Joaquin Pedro Valdes spent nine years working in filmmaking, directing commercials and advertising before deciding to pursue the one passion he could never leave behind. Theatre had been part of his life since childhood, but turning it into a full-time career meant leaving Manila, moving to the UK and rebuilding his professional life in a new country.

Now performing as Benny in the West End production of RENT, Valdes is drawing on his own experiences of ambition, financial pressure and belonging to explore a character who is often dismissed as the musical's antagonist. For him, Benny's story is about more than money. It is about someone who once belonged to a community but chose a different path in the hope of building a better life.
