Deepika Padukone is on a roll. After Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om with Shah Rukh Khan, she has now signed Rakyesh Mehra's new film Dilli 6, opposite Abhishek Bachchan.

Isn't she under contract for farah's film? So, how could she sign Mehra's next? "I can't comment on anything right now. I don't know how you got the news but you will have to speak to Rakyesh Mehra about it," says Deepika.

However, Deepika confirms, "Om Shanti Om will definitely be my debut film. We'll start shooting in December."

Deepika has now taken a further step into Bollywood and moved from Bangalore to Mumbai. She says, "Yes I shifted to Mumbai a couple of months back. I stay in Bandra. I had never thought about getting into acting, but I got some offers. When the offers became more interesting, I decided to give Bollywood a shot."

Is she looking forward to shooting with Shah Rukh Khan? "I have met him a couple of times and found him to be a humble man. He is down-to-earth and made me very comfortable," she replies.

Is she formally trained to act? "Yes, I did a three-month acting course from Anupam Kher's Actor Prepares Academy and I have also learnt Bharatnatyam," says Deepika. "I love dancing, actually. I have had training in jazz, ballet and a little bit of Bollywood dancing as well. I am currently learning Kathak. I'm looking forward to the song-and-dance routine in my films quite eagerly."

This girl is touted to be the next Aishwarya Rai ...Do you think she could make it big in Bollywood...... Especially that her debut movie is going to be with SRK.......

thats funny..but there is no point in discussing such topics...bcoz even aishwarya rai .... took some time to prove that she was more than model and she proved it later that models can act. but yeah everyone has chances , but one thing is aishwarya is aishwarya .... and deepika will be deepika...the only one who remains himself and dont try to immitate others can succeed here....but u cant call her aishwarya bcoz she is not beautifull...but yeah...i hope she does well as an actor ....but we have to wait and watch that does she makes a mark for herself...and only if she succeeds i dont thing ash or any other actress will be affected rather than priyanka ...its my own views ..so dont wanna offend anyone

she's looking ok,she's a very lucky girl to work with Srk in her first movie!!!!!!!!!!! 😛 😛 😛
