Deepika, who moved to Mumbai after completing her undergraduate studies from Bangalore , could not attend full-time college owing to the extensive traveling that she has to do for work assignments. That's when she decided to enrol herself for a distance learning programme. She says, "I always wanted to strike a balance between education and my professional life. Yes, I do like studying and that's why I opted for a distance learning programme." 

During her school days in Bangalore , she realised that her strengths lay in the Arts stream rather than Science or Commerce. She says, "I went to Mount Carmel College for my undergraduate studies. I had sociology and economics as my subjects then as well. I used to score quite well. Naturally, I decided to major in the same subjects." 

From what we hear, Deepika believes in last minute preparations. She locks herself up and completely stops socialising a month before her exams. 

"You cannot distract her when she is preparing for her exams. She likes to be left alone just a few days before her exams," says the source.
