Padukone spoke about moving to the field of showbiz and leaving a career in badminton. She recollected the time she told her parents that she wanted to change professions and promised to make them proud one day.
바카라Little did I imagine that 20 years hence, I바카라d be standing here this evening at the TIME100 Impact Awards. For all the times I바카라ve felt lost, confused, or disappointed, it is recognitions such as these that remind me that I am indeed on the right path, at least for the most part, and validate my whole belief of living a life that is driven by purpose, authenticity, and mindfulness,바카라 she said at the event.
She paraphrased a quote by the actor Sacha Baron Cohen, next, and spoke about how it is important to follow what you believe in. She added, 바카라You need luck, you need talent, and you need to work your butt off.바카라

The actress looked absolutely radiant at the event in a glittery sari. Before she went in, she shared a video on social media from her car. 바카라I'm nervous. I don't know why. I've written some stuff (she showed a piece of paper). I hope it's meaningful,바카라 she laughed.
