| Ranbir who? There is no denying that Deepika Padukone has gotten over her break-up with the Kapoor lad with the pragmatism of a girl who knows her mind and would rather not waste her emotions. And she says that she won't talk about Ranbir on her birthday - or any other day. Deepika's birthday this year could well have been a disaster, not because it happened just after her break-up, but because just the night before, she came down with viral fever. Nose clogged, head heavy, feeling feverish, she brought in her birthday sleeping in her bedroom, after an early night. "What to do?" she sighed. "I'm boring and single." But on her birthday (January 5), she was up to participate in Abhishek Bachchan's new game show with Farhan Akhtar. "I couldn't afford to take the day off - too much work. And the release of Karthik Calling Karthik is around the corner on February 26. Besides, I got to spend my birthday with two of my most entertaining co-stars, Abhishek and Farhan." However, rumours about her closeness to Farhan both annoy and embarrass her. "My rapport with all my co-stars is great on the sets. But that's where it ends. I don't socialise with any of them. Abhishek kept us in splits in Goa during Khelenge Hum Jee Jaan Se, but we didn't meet after work. It was the same with Farhan. We had a great time working on Karthik Calling Karthik," she says. Getting slightly agitated, Deepika continues, "Farhan is a married man with children. I can't enjoy this kind of gossip. People think they can say what they like because I don't say anything. But silence in my case is not acceptance of any rubbish said and written about me." But is it a fact that she is suddenly doing more films than ever before because she's using work as a balm for her wounded heart. The actress' laughter reverberates. "I'm doing no such thing. Yes, I've signed three new films with Ashutosh Gowariker, Pradeep Sarkar and Danish Aslam. I'd have signed these three films even if they came to me a year back. Khelenge Hum Jee Jaan Se is my first period film. I've learnt so much from its director, Ashutosh Gowariker. He's sorted out and clear-headed about what he wants from his actors." |
