It's a step forward in my global career: Deepika on MTV awards invite

Mumbai: Deepika Padukone is all geared up to attend the prestigious MTV European Music Awards in Rotterdam, which she described as ‘a step forward in my global career’.

The 30-year old actress shares that she was puzzled when she received the invite.

She said, "I was pleasantly surprised when I got the invite. It is very gracious of them to invite me. I have grown up watching the MTV awards and I didn't think that one day, I would be walking down the red carpet and presenting an award at this global music event. It's a step forward in my global career."

"This is my first time at such an event so I don't know what to expect. I am going there just to have fun. I understand the platform and what it is all about; it is a music award and I love music. I listen to a lot of music of the people, who are playing there, so right now, everything seems surreal in that sense," added the 'Tamasha' actress.

The pretty lady has been sensationally achieving all goals one by one and has been applauded by the audience for her performances.

After becoming a part of 'xXx : Return of Xander Cage' with Vin Diesel, for which Miss Padukone garnered tremendous response from her fans and the audience for the teaser, trailer & individual posters for the film, the actress will now be attending the renowned MTV European Music Awards.

Besides being at the award show, the actress also will be presenting an award on November 6.

Deepika will be amidst other Hollywood celebrities like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Beyonce and Ariana Grande and others.

On a related note, the Mastani of Bollywood will next be seen in her Vin Diesel starrer Hollywood debut 'XXX: Return of Xander Cage' that is slated to release early next year.
