Motherhood Changed Deepika Padukone’s Life

Deepika Padukone shares patience and basic self-care tips after motherhood.

New Role, New Challenges

In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Deepika Padukone explained that being a mother has been the most unique role of her life.

The arrival of her daughter, Dua, in September 2024, made this role even more special for her.

New Definition of Patience

“I’ve always been a patient person, but my tolerance levels are now…” Deepika laughed, adding that motherhood has given her a new dimension to her tolerance.

Daily frustrating encounters have made her more patient than ever.

Journey to Socialization

Deepika never considered herself a social butterfly.

But talking to other children’s parents at the playschool gate has now become a daily, fun experience for her.

Motherhood has pushed her out of her comfort zone and taught her these essential human connections.

Basic Secrets of Mental Health

Deepika emphasized the simplest methods, eschewing fancy cryotherapy and ice baths:

• Getting quality sleep
• Drinking plenty of water daily
• Believing in home-cooked, nutritious food
• Regular light exercise

“These are all basics, but anything else you do won’t make a difference in the long run,” she said.

Athlete’s Introspection

As a former athlete, Deepika finds it easy to take breaks from devices. “I can stay away from my mobile for hours.

I clean for productivity, but not compulsively.” She also addressed the misconception of the OCD tag, saying that cleaning is a decluttering process for her.

Balancing Films and Motherhood

After Singham Again, Deepika postponed some projects to focus on motherhood. She will next be seen in King with Shah Rukh Khan.

Motherhood has taught her to balance both personal and professional fronts.

Lessons for every new mother

Deepika Padukone’s experience clearly shows that patience, connecting with people, and adopting simple self-care routines are the most effective tools in motherhood.

When attention is paid to sleep, nutrition, and hydration, real change begins.
