Deepika Padukone Announces Resignation From The Post Of MAMI’s Chairperson; Here's Why!

Calling the experience as ‘enriching’, Deepika stated that her bond with MAMI ‘will last a lifetime’.

Deepika Padukone has decided to resign from the post of chairperson of Mumbai Academy of the Moving Image (MAMI). Everyone was surprised when 'The Intern' actress took over as the chairperson of MAMI in 2019 from Aamir Khan's wife Kiran Rao.

Now, as she steps down from the position, Deepika mentioned her “slate of work” as the reason why she took the step.

Calling the experience as ‘enriching’, Deepika stated that her bond with MAMI ‘will last a lifetime’.

She took to her social media platforms on Monday to share the news.

“Being on the board of MAMI and serving as chairperson has been a deeply enriching experience. As an artist, it was invigorating to bring together cinema and talent from all over the world to Mumbai, my second home.

I have come to realise however, that with my current slate of work, I will be unable to give MAMI the undivided focus and attention it requires. I depart knowing that MAMI is in the best hands possible and that my bond and connection with the academy is one that will last a lifetime,” she wrote in a note.
