Padmaavat is close to Deepika Padukone’s heart for more reasons than one. The period drama not only saw her team up with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the third time but also crossed the Rs 300-crore mark. The actress garnered praise too for her performance as Queen Padmavati.

The jauhar sequence, which was a major highlight of the magnum opus, was the most difficult part for Deepika. No wonder, DP recently reached out to SLB and requested him to give her the outfit that she had worn for the climax scene. Given the sentimental value of that ensemble, she wants to treasure it for life.

Says Deepika, “Padmaavat, in its entirety, has been a journey that will stay with me forever. The climax sequence, especially, has been the most intense, challenging and memorable scene I have ever done. And to commemorate those moments, I’ve requested Sanjay sir if I could keep the outfit that I wore.”
