Before entering the venue, Deepika was asked how she’s feeling. She said, “I don’t know why, I am nervous. I have written some stuff; I hope it is purposeful. But yes, I am nervous. I’m going to try and have fun. I am going to have fun.”

This is the second time Deepika has been felicitated at the TIME100 Impact Awards. When she was asked how this time is different from the first, she replied, “A lot more work. Couple of years, and a lot more work and a little bit more confidence maybe.”

Deepika also spoke about what gives her hope about the future. She said, “People and their resilience. I think the world has been through a lot and we continue to go through a lot, but to see the strength and resilience is what truly gives me hope.”
