As Deepika Padukone's iconic film 'Piku' celebrates its ninth anniversary today, the Bollywood actress took to Instagram to celebrate the milestone with an adorable never-seen-before photo from the behind-the-scenes during the set shoot days.

Deepika portrayed the titular role of Piku in the movie with remarkable depth and authenticity. She also shed her glamorous image for the role of Piku. Her portrayal of a modern, independent woman dealing with the nuances of caring for her aging father struck a chord with audiences and critics alike.

Deepika shared a behind-the-scenes image that evokes nostalgia for the film's memorable moments, including her on-screen chemistry with the late Irrfan Khan and her extremely sweet father-daughter duo relationship with Amitabh Bachchan.

In the image, Big B, Deepika and Irrfan are seen sitting with food being offered to Big B, and his finger pointing at Deepika, which is just too sweet to miss.

Earlier, Amitabh Bachchan had spoken about Deepika’s eating habits during their shoot of ‘Piku’ and said, “Yeh har 3 minute mein khaana khati hai” (She eats food every 3 minutes)

Through her portrayal of Piku, Deepika encapsulated the complexities of a daughter's relationship with her father, navigating the fine line between love, frustration, and responsibility.
