Deepika Padukone, will be the face of the Bangalore marathon, to be held on May 18, and she is not charging the sponsors a paisa for it.
Sports is in Deepkia’s genes, since she is badminton ace Prakash Padukone’s daughter, and Bengaluru, where her family still resides, is her city.
Deepika, studied at Sophia High School and Mount Carmel College in the city and played badminton for Karnataka, before taking up modeling as her career. As one of Bollywood’s hottest newcomers, she doesn’t have time to pursue sports anymore, but is thrilled at an opportunity to promote a sporting culture
Deepika’s spokesperson reveals that she is not charging any fee to endorse the marathon and adds, “Deepika has a very strong affinity for sports having being an athlete herself, and someday hopes to have a foundation which will support sportspersons across India especially women who need Special training but don’t have the funds for it.
The source adds, “She wants to use her popularity to encourage more people to take part and instill pride in the city Deepika will also flag off the run and might run the dream run herself.”
Deepika admits, “I have been closely associated with sports as I have been an athlete all my life. In Bangalore, it will be nice to get people together to run and help the various causes associated with the marathon.”
“I am going down next week to announce and promote the marathon. I have always had a sports connection in lots of ways since childhood and Bangalore is my home city. Also I have always promoted fitness and health.”
