Deepika Padukone is one of the most famous faces in the industry, having established herself as a leading lady in Bollywood over the last decade. After establishing herself in the world of cinema, she has stepped into the world of artificial intelligence, becoming the new voice of Meta AI across multiple countries.
While speaking at CNBC’s Global Leadership Summit, she recalled her experience of being mocked due to her voice in the film industry. At the event, Deepika shared, “I am someone whose voice was sort of mocked when I came into the industry, and now suddenly I am the voice of Meta AI- strange! And my accent, but I continue to own it. I think that’s probably how and why it happened.’”
She continues to add more of what she thinks of AI and shared, “I am so excited about the possibilities, the only thing I believe it cannot replace is human emotion. I think that is the only place where AI will not be allowed or will not be able to match up. Barring human emotion and how an actor would emote, because you can’t infuse soul into AI.’”
On the work front, Deepika was last seen in Singham Again, directed by Rohit Shetty. The film also starred Ranveer, Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, among others.
She is currently working with Shah Rukh Khan on his next film, ‘King’. Deepika Padukone is also set for another movie with director Atlee, tentatively titled ‘AA22 X A6’, a Pan-India sci-fi entertainer, starring Allu Arjun in the lead role.
She was also involved in a controversy after she left Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit and Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD. Deepika has also been advocating for the actor to work for eight hours per day while shooting for a film. This has definitely started a new conversation with the industry and fans.
