I watched Hema Malini and Helen films for “70s look” : Deepika

admin November 21st, 2007

Thrilled with the rave reviews her performance in Om Shanti Om has won, budding actress Deepika Padukone says she prepared for the ’70s era character by watching films starring Hema Malini and Helen.

“I watched a lot of films starring Hema Malini and Helen, for instance Jewel Thief and Seeta Aur Geeta, to notice how they were made.

“In the films of that time, everything was over the top – the emotions were exaggerated though I enjoy the originality of the ’70s era films. The actors were more graceful and their body language was completely different from today’s actors,” Deepika told in an interview.

“I don’t count myself as a big star yet, there is a long way for me to go. I think my father handled success very well and it is in my genes to be humble,” the daughter of ace badminton player Prakash Padukone said.
