Deepika Padukone has quit as the chairperson of Mumbai Academy of Moving Image. The actress took to Instagram to announce the same. She has quit MAMI because she can't give her full attention to the trust due to her work commitments. 

She wrote, "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." She added, "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."

Meanwhile, Deepika will next be seen in 83, opposite husband Ranveer Singh. She is awaiting the release of Shakun Batra's next. The yet-to-be-titled film also stars Ananya Panday and Siddhant Chaturvedi in lead roles. She will also be seen opposite Hrithik Roshan in Siddharth Anand's next film Fighter.
