Did Deepika Padukone Risk Her Health to Finish a Movie? Lara Dutta Reveals a Shocking Secret!
Lara Dutta recently shared a surprising story about Deepika Padukone that shows exactly why she’s a top superstar today. Back when they were filming the 2010 hit Housefull in London, Deepika actually caught malaria. Instead of taking a long break, she kept showing up to work. Lara recalled how Deepika looked completely drained and exhausted, yet she refused to let the production stall. It’s a side of the “glamorous” movie life fans rarely see—Deepika was literally shivering with fever between shots but would transform into a professional professional the second the camera started rolling.
This behind-the-scenes look proves that Deepika’s success isn’t just about luck; it’s about serious grit. Even with a high fever and the weakness that comes with malaria, she managed to film energetic dance sequences and comedy scenes alongside Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh. Lara mentioned that the whole crew was worried, but Deepika’s dedication was “absolute.” It’s these kinds of stories that explain how she went from a promising newcomer in Housefull to a global icon today—she simply doesn’t quit.
