Deepika Padukone on 'Piku' success: People want to adopt me

Her act as 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   actress Deepika Padukone. But the most heartening has been the response from people who have expressed a wish to "adopt" her. Directed by Shoojit Sircar, 'Piku' is an endearing father-daughter tale,

with megastar Amitabh Bachchan essaying the role of Deepika's onscreen dad. Their chemistry is natural, relatable and pleasing despite being one full of arguments. What also stands out is Deepika's subdued and subtle camaraderie with Irrfan Khan in the film.
"The response has been overwhelming," Deepika told IANS in an interview post the film's release. Her character is independent and free-spirited.
