“They want to adopt me after………………………….!”

Her role of a selfless daughter, who spends more time listening to her father’s constipation tales than on her professional or marital pursuits in Piku, has garnered an “overwhelming” response for actor Deepika Padukone . But the most heartening has been the response from people who want to “adopt” her.
Directed by Shoojit Sircar, Piku features Amitabh Bachchan, who plays Deepika’s dad. “The response has been overwhelming. I think we had all thought that it’s a sweet film and that people will connect with it, but none of us had expected it to become this big. The biggest compliment for me has been. I know it sounds funny, but a lot of people have told me that they want to adopt me after watching Piku, and that’s overwhelming,” Deepika told media in India.
Deepika, who also features in a brand’s emotional advertisement about a daughter’s love towards her mother, said her biggest critic is her family. “My family is my biggest critic. They always watch my films, but they would always say ‘This could have been a little better’. But after watching this film (Piku), there was absolute silence when they called me. They were just lost for words,” she added.
