In today’s world girls don’t need to elope: Deepika

Deepika Padukone, who plays a South Indian girl in love with a North Indian guy (played by Shahrukh) in Chennai Express claims that situations for love marriages have changed in India.

On being asked about parents' disapproval to marry in other caste in India, Deepika said, "Today's girls are so sure of what they want. Lifestyles have changed, cultures have changed. Girls have become a lot more vocal and they are in a better position today."

"May be that's why girls don't need to elope. Also parents understand it's not about religion, caste, but it's important that their daughter should be happy with whomsoever she wants to be married. Parents opposition might be in India, but its less in today's age in India," concluded Deepika.
