When asked about how she felt to be a presenter at Oscars 2023, Deepika Padukone said, "I'm excited, nervous, and curious to see what this whole thing is about. I mean we've all grown up watching the Oscars, and the part of the world we come from, it's not every day you wake up going to the Oscars. I'm just taking it all in."

Deepika Padukone made her debut at the Oscars as one of the presenters this year. Padukone announced the dance performance to RRR’s 'Naatu Naatu' at the Oscars ceremony at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday.
