Ranbir and I learn a lot from each other: Deepika Padukone
Mumbai, Aug 03: Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who played a double role in Farah Khan's 'Om Shanti Om' and is essaying another in her forthcoming film 'Chandni Chowk to China' says she is privileged to do double roles so early in her career.
"In Chandni Chowk...I have a double role. In Om Shanti Om, I played a double role. I feel privileged to essay double roles so early in my career," Deepika told reporters here on Friday.
Modelling, she said, has helped her to face the camera confidently.
"I never thought I would be an actress. As my confidence grew, I realised that taking up acting is the gradual growth process for a model," she said.
Speaking about her role in 'Bachna Aae Haseeno' which releases on August 15, Deepika said she identified with her character in the film, Gayatri, completely.
"Like me, she is independent and traditional. She studies in Sydney and works to fund her education. I also started working at the age of 18 which made me more responsible," she said.
Asked about fears of being overshadowed by her other co-stars in the film Bipasha Basu and Minnisha Lamba, Deepika said, "I trust the director completely as I know he will give me my due."
About her experience in working with the two she said, "We did not interact much as we did not have scenes together. But, we appear in the same frame for the music video of the film's title track. We had a good time."
On her professional relationship with beau Ranbir Kapoor, also a co-star in 'Bachna...', she said, "He has lot of knowledge about cinema. Both of us are just one film old.
We learn a lot from each other."
Deepika said that she had been signed up for Bachna… even before Om Shanti Om and Kapoor, whom she started dating during the making of the film, was already a part of it.
The actress, daughter of badminton ace Prakash Padukone, said she wants to contribute to sports in her own way. "Other than cricket, there is so much sports talent in our country which is not recognised."
Deepika said that Siddharth's forte was simple love stories while Farah Khan's movies were "over the top".
