Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who topped the list of Times 50 Most Desirable Women of 2012, says she is not good at fielding compliments and adds that beauty and physical attributes are "artificial".

"It is a bit embarrassing. I mean, I don't know how to take compliments! I don't know how to react! It must be a good thing only," said the 27-year-old in an interview.

Part of hit films like "Om Shanti Om", "Cocktail", "Love Aaj Kal" and "Housefull", she wants people to appreciate her personality traits and not just her looks.

"I have always said that people should find me desirable for the person I am - whatever little they know me through my interviews and interactions. I hope it doesn't have much to do with beauty and physical attributes because that, for me, is all artificial. They are superficial things," said Deepika how is part of filmdom since 2006.

Her next is Ayan Mukerji's "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" and Rohit Shetty's "Chennai Express".
