What Were You Like At 20? 6 Celebrities Share Their Stories

1. Deepika Padukone
“I was exactly the same, and if I could go back and change my 20-year-old self, I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s that 20-year-old Deepika’s decisions that have made me who I am today!”

2. Richa Chadda
“I was quite confident, actually. I was also really hardworking (but terribly insecure) and had a very Mean Girlsesque sense of humour."

3. Kangana Ranaut
“Achingly vulnerable and emotionally wise. Also, I was very optimistic—I had an undying spirit about me, this sense that there was always a silver lining."

4. Nargis Fakhri
“I was free-spirited, and I had no fear. The sky was the limit. I was bartending and paying for college on my own, and living life to the fullest.”

5. Aditi Rao Hydari
“Shy and quiet, but with fatter cheeks, and the propensity to get on a table and dance till sunrise.”

6. Kalki Koechlin
“I was shy and quiet, until I had a few drinks, then I would become the storyteller and the performer.”
