In a video shared as part of Pathaan promotions, Deepika Padukone confessed that playing a “femme fatale spy” was no easy feat. In the clip released by Yash Raj Films, Deepika said that the work routine and diet she adopted for the role was one of the "most difficult" regimes of her life.
"It's probably the hardest I've ever worked to get in any kind of shape for a film, for a character," Deepika Padukone said. "I don't want to get into the specifics because I know there are moments when people get carried away when actors name diets. So I'm not going to get into the specifics of what the routine was but I can tell you that it was one of the most difficult workout regimes, one of the most difficult diets that I was on.”
