I look up to Deepika Padukone: Diana Penty

Actor Diana Penty is proud of her Cocktail co-star Deepika Padukone, who is set to make her Hollywood debut in xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.

Talking about Deepika’s growth as an actor, Diana said: “It’s been superb. It’s absolutely great and she should pat herself on the back. I am proud of her. So yes, I definitely look up to her in terms of the kind of work she has been doing lately.”

Diana is also excited about her own film Happy Bhag Jayegi. She said: “It was an instant yes. The minute I heard the script, I fell in love with it. It’s a unique storyline and I wanted to explore this even in terms of the character.” The romantic-comedy, directed by Mudassar Aziz, also features Abhay Deol and Ali Fazal.
