SRK doesn't like a pat on the back: Deepika Padukone

Mumbai: Deepika Padukone has been always in the spotlight either for her acting abilities or for her romantic link-ups. We quizzed the svelte heroine how she copes up with constant speculations and gossip about her personal as well as professional life, especially since she comes from a non-filmy background.

In the spotlight: Deepika Padukone

"Initially, when I was new it was very difficult for me to handle this. My father was a champion player and he too got a lot of attention but media was not as huge as it is now. It wasn't following every move of his as it does now. My family and I have learnt over the last couple of years how to handle all this speculation and attention. We have understood that it is a part of our daily life," she says.

We also took the opportunity to ask her if she has spoken to her debut movie co-star Shah Rukh Khan post his shoulder surgery.

"I spoke to him and met him recently at an event over the weekend. I did get a message from Gauri saying he was in a lot of pain and wasn't in the state to meet anyone. He doesn't like a pat on the back. He's a fighter and a go-getter and an operation is just another day in his life," she says with a million dollar smile.

Deepika has teamed up with Saif Ali Khan for Love Aaj Kal and she is really kicked up to be working with Imtiaz Ali.

"It's great to have Imtiaz as my director. I loved Jab We Met and was looking forward to working with him. I thought the film was 'seamless' and the romance was very sweet," she says.

LAK is Imtiaz Ali's 3rd film so a bit skeptical seeing the fate of other film makers.

Hope LAK is a good one.

Also Farhan and Deepika's Kartik calling Kartik.

So many good movies Deepika has managed to get. Good going girl! Always be down to Earth.

This year could be very important for Deepika,The two releases with Imtiaz(LAK) and Farhan(KCK) could change her career.

Imtiaz film will be interesting,atleast on paper ...as most of last year Bebo made so much noise about it and even announced that she was in his next film after LAK.

Farhan himself is a good director and recognises a good script when he sees(Rock On)..the fact that he decided to produce and act in it, means that atleast at the scripting stage it is good.

Housefull..I dont think it will release this year even if the producer Nadiadwallah claims that it will be a Diwali release..Shooting begins only in June..

Deepika mentioned(at the Tissot event) that her film with Ranbir will start only later this year..I hope it is not the Siddharth Anand one😳..

Priyanka had 2 AVERAGE(not hits) films at the boxoffice Dostana-44 crores and fashion- 26crores(source BOI) ..but she made an impact because of her roles and she survived her 4 flops...

Lets wait and watch....

I'm an ardent Deepika fan and saying so, lemme tell u that comparisons with PC are a bit far-fetched😊PC is rii at the top n DP has recently started off, yet to prove her mettle thoroughly. I'm excited for all her upcomming movies,except for Housefull(can't stand Sajid Khan's stupidness).Lets hope for the best..goooooood luck Deepsi darling🤗Rooooooockkkkk on!!
