Deepika Padukone has rubbished rumours that her
"Chennai Express" co-star Shah Rukh Khan has asked
her not to go for the promotional tour of her film "Yeh
Jawaani Hai Deewani", and says he will never do such a
thing.
"That's not true at all. Shah Rukh is the most
encouraging person I have worked with. He is extremely
proud of me and my achievements and he would never
do something like that," she said here.
The makers of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone-starrer "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" have chalked out a
plan for the promotion and global tour of the movie but
reportedly, it's being said that Shah Rukh has asked her
to stay back and complete their film.
Deepika, who was present at an event held for the
launch of People magazine, minced no word in praising
Shah Rukh.
"Today, I am lot more confident and lot more
comfortable around him," said the actress who made
Bollywood debut with Shah Rukh in 2007 hit movie "Om
Shanti Om".
"In the first film, I was just too shocked and too
surprised about the fact that I have even got such a
debut," she said.
"He (Shah Rukh) is definitely a friend. He is always been
someone who I can rely on or call on any point in the
daytime or whatever. He is just somebody to talk to and
he has been that person for me in 'Chennai Express' as
well."
Directed by Rohit Shetty, "Chennai Express" is
scheduled for release in August this year.
