My reel life has influenced my real life: Deepika Singh

“I now have a huge responsibility on my shoulders”, stated actor Deepika Singh when asked if she was going to vote. Deepika, who plays the role of Sandhya, a married woman who conquered all challenges to become an IPS officer in Star Plus’ Diya Aur Baati Hum (Shashi Summet Mittal Productions) has suddenly started feeling the pressure and the need of being a responsible citizen. The talented actress understands her responsibilities, both towards her profession and her nation. On finishing a night long shoot, the first thing she did was heading to the polling booth to cast her vote. “Like every responsible citizen I too wanted to contribute in the development of the nation and make a difference. Perhaps it’s my reel life has influenced my real life. Wherever I go, my fans come and salute me. It is flattering and gives me immense pride. Now I feel that I have a huge responsibility on my shoulders of living up to my on screen image and doing my part in building the nation”, said Deepika Singh. Catch Sandhya’s journey in Diya Aur Baati Hum from Monday to Saturday at 9.00 pm on Star Plus.
