On the other hand, speaking of 8 years of Piku, director Shoojit Sircar said, “Deepika is one of my favourites. Whenever my writers and I talk, we always think, ‘What can we do with Deepika’ because I’m so fond of her. It was a brilliant experience working with her. Frankly, while working on Piku, I saw the real actress and real creativity in her; and what she is as a soul. My revelation was that she is a simple, girl-next-door soul, despite having done many other films and potboilers.”
