I was watching Brad in Benjamin Button and it suddenly struck me that Deepika's career is just like Benjamin Button's life.. career going in reverse.
She starts with one of the biggest hits in Bollywood (OSO) and her last few movies tanked like a pile of concrete girders. In fact KHJJS had a lifetime collections of 4 crores (yikes).. probably the biggest disaster of 2010.
She starts with SRK and is now stuck with acting exclusively with Saif. All the other newcomers are bagging roles opposite Khans and Ranbir and Shahid and she is never in contention in any big project, except in the South movies.
People talked about her being the next reigning queen by displacing Kareena and Kat.. but she is in danger of being upstaged by Asin and Anushka now.
Her affair with Ranbir was the love of gossip mags and internet forums.. her affair with Sid is as cold as yesterday's soup.
So, what do you think.. what is going to bring back Deepika's mojo.. Anything?

lmfao at the comparision.
Deeps is a strange one, i don't think she's particularily alluring to be on the top or irritating enough to be black-listed. She will keep getting roles and continue her up and down journey through bollywood. Her off-screen life is what usually turns peoples heads not her on-screen choices.
Aarakshan looks promising enough, but i don't see any path-breaking films in the near future.
Deeps is stable as a daily menu. No big promises, but you get what you expect.

You are right. Even I don't watch lot of movies, but occasionally when I don't feel like watching any of her movie at all. She is like female Saifu considered hot and at top but actually they are not 😆...

I think she is planning to settle down in life sooner than we expect. She might be wanting to finally settle down with Sid.

A career or a billionaire. What to focus on. You choose.

She did manage to get rid of the eye candy tag last year...I rem Masand saying that he thinks she has more than long legs. So that's good for her. Her performances were liked if I rem right.

She needs some hits ya...that may come with the masala films she is doing right now. There is also Aarakshan.

Deepika is a really bland celebrity who sort of blends in with the crowd as opposed to say Sonam who is clearly known for being a fashionista or Anushka for her bluntness...right now she's floundering in the middle...She had that fantastic break with SRK in OSO but her films haven't even worked since then besides Love Aaj Kal and Housefull. She really needs a hit badly otherwise her star will fall soon
