About being a jury member and whether she sees it as a burden, Deepika Padukone says she is here to enjoy the creative process of cinema. "I think we are all aware of the fact that it is a huge responsibility. But, I think, we have also made a promise to each other yesterday that we are not going to burden ourselves with that responsibility. I think the idea is to remind ourselves of that audience, or of that young child who¡¯s grown up watching movies and been inspired."

She added, "I think cinema is such a powerful tool, such a powerful medium, it can impact people¡¯s lives and touch and influence people¡¯s lives, so, I think, to forget for the next two weeks that we have this burden and this responsibility and just enjoy the creative process¡that¡¯s sort of what we are all here to do. I think we are all creative people. I don¡¯t think any of us can judge, critique, or criticize¡I think it¡¯s just to enjoy".
