"I just happened to have four interactions with Vin Diesel. He is a warm person and very generous like the other co-stars I have worked with. I am hoping that it will be a fun experience. It's important to enjoy the experience and everything else will follow," she told reporters here on the sidelines of NDTV Indian of the Year award last evening.

Her "Bajirao Mastani" co-star Ranveer Singh and Irrfan Khan, who worked with Deepika in "Piku", wished the actress luck for her Hollywood film.

"We are really proud of you. Since you are leaving tonight to shoot your big Hollywood blockbuster, we wish you all the best. May you conquer the new venture and make us proud like the way you always have," Ranveer said.

Terming his experience of shooting with Deepika one of the best ones, Irrfan said, "You have every possible capability to conquer Hollywood with you looks and talent. I had one of the best experiences of shooting with you in Piku'. You just made the cranky role in Piku so endearing.."

"Two years ago, pay disparity was something which needed to be addressed. Today, it has been addressed and we are definitely heading towards the right direction."

Seems like DP got a pay hike😊

Oh she definitely got paid more than Veer for BM too, hence her reply at NDTV😆

P.S. Kate Winslet faced a lot of flak when she sidestepped a question on pay parity in Hollywood by calling the discussion vulgar, but seeing the line of questioning on NDTV, I would have to agree with her. Vulgar may not be the right choice of word but uncomfortable it was especially when there is direct comparison between the earning of specific persons.
