Is Deepika Padukone miffed with 'when are you planning a family' question? When the actress was recently asked that question in an interview with express.co.uk, the 33-year-old said simply: "It will happen when it has to happen. Motherhood trumps being married. That’s what I hear from people who have had children."

She also added: "Of course, it will happen at some point but no, I think it is unfair to put women through that, to put a couple through that. I guess the day we stop asking the questions is when we will bring about change."
