Actor Deepika Padukone believes that many Indian films have deserved to win the Oscars, but have been repeatedly snubbed.
Padukone took to her Instagram account to share a video in which she is getting ready for a Louis Vuitton show in Paris. In it, she recalls being at the Academy Awards when RRR won Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu in 2023.

She says: "India has been robbed of the Oscars many times. Many, many deserving movies, I feel, have been snubbed. Whether it's movies, whether it's talent... But I remember being in the audience when they announced RRR, and I got emotional. Outside of being an Indian, I had nothing to do with that movie, but that was a huge, huge moment. That felt very, very personal," Padukone said in the video.
The Chennai Express actress also spoke about this year's Oscars and mentioned that the one win that made her very happy was Adrien Brody's Best Actor win for The Brutalist.
As she spoke, clips of critically acclaimed Indian films, including All We Imagine As Light, Laapataa Ladies, Tumbbad, and The Lunchbox, were featured in the video. These films, which received worldwide praise, did not get nominated for the Oscars.
Padukone attended the Louis Vuitton show at the Cour Carre du Louvre. The actress is the first Indian to be signed as a global ambassador for both Louis Vuitton and Cartier.
