"You are scientist. You are a computer geek. You are taxi driver. You are rapist. You are owner of a convenience store. I’ve h my fans ask me why I’ve not done more [global] movies. But that’s not what I’m settling for, because I am — and we are — so much more than that. It would upset me every time I went to US. Some of things that are said and some of things that are done just [make it] so obvious that people don’t know world outside of world that y live in."

Deepika recalled meeting an actor at a Vanity Fair party who complimented her English-speaking skills, without realizing how offensive it might be. She said, "I know this actor… I met him at this Vanity Fair party, and he said ‘Hey, by way, you speak English really well.’ I didn’t even realise what that meant. And when I came back I said, ‘What do you mean you speak English really well?’ Did he have this notion that we don’t speak English?"
