Recently, Deepika Padukone issued a statement on her social media handle and informed her admirers that she is no longer going to continue as the Chairperson of Mumbai Academy of Moving Images (MAMI).
Earlier, the actress was appointed to the position back in
2019. She had taken over from Kiran Rao back then. Sharing the statement,
Deepika posted, "Being on the board of MAMI and serving as Chairperson has
been a deeply enriching experience. As an artist, it was invigorating to bring
together cinema and talent from all over the world to Mumbai, my second home. I
have come to realise, however, that with my current state of work, I will be
unable to give MAM the undivided focus and attention, it requires. I depart
knowing that MAMI is in the best hands possible and that my bond and connection
with the academy is one that will last a lifetime."
