However, Deepika is not annoyed with Kareena for drawing all the attention unlike the reports in the media. She is sure that people will start talking about her once the film is released. She revealed that Imtiaz Ali was sure that she should act in the film and offered her the role even before the release of her debut film Om Shanti Om.
There is one reason why Deepika is not disturbed by the constant reference to Kareena with the mention of her film Love Aaj Kal because Imtiaz discovered her talent much before he discovered Kareena in Jab We Met. She revealed that Imtiaz told her to approach him when she is ready to enter films after she turned down his offer when she was a model. She added that Imtiaz kept his promise by casting her in Love Aaj Kal.
Deepika understands Saif-Kareena situation quite well. She said that it's natural for Saif to be very keen on casting his ladylove Kareena in his home production. She added that she would be disappointed if she were in Kareena's place, as she too wants to act with her beau Ranbir Kapoor.
