I've found a friend in Deepika Padukone, saysImran

"It'll be a small and private affair," is all that the actor confirms for now. "I have left it to our families to make the wedding preparations."

The actor also admits that the feeling is yet to sink in and all that he has on his mind now are his films — Mere Brother Ki Dulhan with Katrina Kaif, Delhi Belly and Short Term Shaadi with Kareena Kapoor — for which the shooting's begun already.

"I think it'll be in January itself that I'll get into the shaadi mode," he adds.

But that's next year. For now, the actor's basking in the success of his latest flick with Deepika Padukone that's got a thumbs up at the BO.

What's also clicked is the live-wire chemistry the actor shares on-screen with Deepika. "Deepika and I shared a certain comfort level that made it easier to do the romantic scenes," he reveals.

And was Aavantika comfortable with the on-screen kisses? "Of course. She knows it's a part of my profession and is quite understanding about it." Khan himself is quite comfy with his 'lover-boy' image on-screen, a tag that he's earned post the success of his recent hits including I Hate Luv Storys.

"I do enjoy action, but I think they don't leave much scope to act. Whereas, this genre allows an actor to display a larger range of emotions," reasons Khan.

The actor's also unperturbed about his constant comparison with Ranbir Kapoor.

"It doesn't matter to either him or me, so why should it bother us." Working with the top bevy of beauties, does he have any favourites?

"Well, I've found a friend in Deepika. Katrina's an intelligent girl and there's so much one can learn from Kareena." And if he had to choose any one? "Now that'll get me into serious trouble, so I'll let people keep guessing this one," he smiles.
