But Deepika decided to take criticism in a positive way and build her craft even stronger as she said that criticism fuels her. It fuels me to work harder, to improve my skills and evolve the various aspects of my craft. More importantly, it fuels my personal evolution. Failure, too, has taught me a lot.
