The diva Deepika Padukone, who plays a freedom fighter in Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey’, says playing the spirited character of ‘Kalpana’ was a dream come true. Deepika stars alongside Abhishek Bachchan in Gowariker’s period thriller based on the Chittagong uprising during the freedom struggle.

The actress, who started her Bollywood journey with Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Om Shanti Om’, will be seen in a new look in the film.

“It is something so new and unique for me. I am very grateful to Ashutosh who thought I was capable to carry off such a powerful role. It is a dream come true and a very important film of my career,” Deepika, who was in the city to launch a designer footwear store, said.

The 24-year-old star seems to be keen on shedding her glamourous image with two back to back films. She last played a blind girl in Yash Raj’s ‘Lafangey Parindey’ with Neil Nitin and now will be seen in cotton sarees in ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey’. More

Siddharth Mallya can’t take his eyes from Deepika Padukone and even Deepika enjoying every attention from the son of liquor baron, Vijay Mallya. The two lovebirds are flying high and enjoying every moment of love. When free from work, Dips and Sid make sure that they be with each other.

Reports are flowing from every corner how are couple are attached and attracted to each other. It all started with the IPL where Deepika Padukone being a Bangalorean cheered for the Bangalore Royal Challengers. Though the team could not win the IPL series, fire sparked and still flaming now and what more thrilling is that the flame is growing brighter and brighter with every passing day. Smitten by Deepika’s beauty, Siddhrath even sweat out and shed weight.

When Deepika walked the ramp for Farah Khan’s exotic jewelry collection, Siddharth was seen cheering and clapping for his ladylove. They raised many eyebrows when they arrived together at Salman Khan’s sister Arpita’s birthday bash. Recently, Sid and Dips had a cozy dinner and then both went for a long drive.

Well, Deepika and Siddharth are enjoying life and togetherness to the fullest. Source

Super hot and dignified lass Deepika Padukone experienced an extremely embarrassing situation after her visit to loo was made public on the sets of ‘Break Ke Baad’ in Mauritius. The actress, who always likes to project her prim and proper image, was left red-faced when word spread after she used the bathroom. 
 
According to reports, filmmaker Danish Aslam’s had put few of his young assistants in charge of Deepika’s movements. And they overdid their job!

Deepika Padulone’s each activity was being monitored by the assistants and they conveyed her actions to each other over walkie-talkies. According to sources, one day, Deepika stepped out of her makeup van and excused herself to use the bathroom.

Almost immediately, she overheard one assistant communicating the news to another - “Deepika using toilet,” he said. The actress went mad with fury after that as the entire unit came to know about her toilet secret and took the assistant to task. More

It’s not uncommon for a person to devise nick names for good friends and leggy beauty Deepika Padukone is no different. We hear that Deeps loves to call Imran by the name Immi.

By the way, the young Khan hates the name and gets irritated each time Deepika calls out to him. She tells us, “Imran gets irritated when I call him Immi and that’s why I vow to continue calling him so.”

Recently, while working with Neil Nitin Mukesh for ‘Lafangey Parinde’, Deeps nicked him Neili. However girly the name is, Neil doesn’t mind being addressed that way! We wonder what nick has Deepika thought of for her ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se’ co-star, Abhishek Bachchan. Source

Neil Nitin Mukesh had to kiss Deepika Padukone on screen for their forthcoming film Lafange Parindey and the actor reportedly got cold feet. Not because he’s a virgin screen-kisser and, well, Deepika has the experience of kissing Saif Ali Khan before camera for Love Aaj Kal… but, apparently, because Neil’s had a no-kiss policy in all his films so far.

His first director Sriram Raghavan had thrown a fit when Neil refused to kiss Rimi Sen. In his second film, Tera Kya Hoga Johnny, director Sudhir Mishra insisted Neil kiss Shahana Goswami. But the actor refused. Even in Jail where there was a love-making scene with Mughda Godse, Neil refused to kiss the sultry actress. But Lafange Parindey director Pradeep Sarkar pulled the plug on Neil’s chastity vow.

A source from the set said it was a long, torrid smooch comparable in intensity and duration to the Aamir Khan-Karisma Kapoor kiss in Raja Hindustani. And Neil was nervous! To be kissing the lovely Deepika! Makes us wonder. Source

It might sound childish but the reigning queens of Bollywood are in a tussle to grab a prestigious project. If reports are to be believed, the actresses are frantically SMSing a famous filmmaker to convince him that they fit the role. Both the hotties have apparently set their eyes on a prestigious project and to bag the
same, they are constantly messaging a renowned filmmaker.

It may be recalled that the hotties don’t see face to face after Deepika reportedly broke up with Ranbir. Katrina was apparently one of the reasons why Deepika refused to continue with her relationship with the Kapoor boy.

At present, Katrina is shooting in Spain for Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara and Deepika is in Mumbai to promote Pradeep Sarkar’s Lafangey Parindey.

Bollywood actor John Abraham is truly impressed with Deepika Padukone. He is totally smitten by Deepika Padukone’s beauty and attitude. He has become an ardent fan of the actress. He complimented the way she carries herself. John feels that Dips is a perfect combination of beauty and brain and possess all the qualities to beat any Bollywood actresses.

The hunk will star opposite Dips in Rohit Dhawan’s ‘Desi Boys’. As john has showered all flowery comments over the ‘Om Shanti Om’ actress, he has given his girlfriend Bipasha Basu a reason to feel jealous. But we also know that Bips is not narrow minded to take John’s comments in the wrong sense.

John and Bips has spend several years together and the couple hardly left any room for doubts.

Well, Deepika might be overwhelmed with John’s admiration. Source

Deepika Padukone is flying high these days, for the actress will be joined by her parents on the sets of her latest film ‘Break Ke Baad’, which is currently being shot in Mauritius. The actress, who has been having a busy schedule of late, was terribly missing her family, and as a result, Deepika’s doting parents decided to visit their daughter.

Talking to a news daily, a source said, “Deepika’s diary is chock-a-block. Over the last six months she has been shooting for ‘Khelen Hum Jee Jaan Se’, ‘Lafange Parinde’ and now ‘Break Ke Baad’. In the midst of all this, she was also promoting her film ‘Housefull’ and other endorsements.”

“She has hardly spent time with her parents and has been missing them. She was missing them so much that they instantly decided they would go and visit her on the sets. Incidentally, they have never been on her sets before this. This will be the first time,” the source said.

When enquired, Deepika Padukone confirmed the news and said, “I have been working round the clock and I just thought that it would be nice if they can spend some time together with me after my shoot. They will be here for a week and once I am done with the shooting of ‘Break Ke Baad’, we all are planning a big family holiday. I will be in the middle of work but I would at least get to spend some time with them. They will come next week and be with me till the end of the schedule, which will be a week from the time they come.” Source

Well, anything can happen in this industry. Deepika Padukone is one of the luckiest actresses in the filmdom. Believe it or not, but Dips may soon have a chance to proclaim that none other than Salman Khan is her bodyguard! According to the latest buzz, Salman may turn the bodyguard of Deepika in an upcoming flick, starring the two in lead roles. Reports reveal that the Hindi remake of the South Indian director Siddique’s Malayalam film ‘Bodyguard’, will have Deepika opposite the macho guy Salman.

Our source reveals that a lot of filmmakers had approached Siddique to get the rights for the movie’s Hindi remake, but only Atul Agnihotri could manage to convince the former for the same. Siddique will take up the role of the director and writer in the Hindi version after completing the Tamil.

Grapevine has it that the Tamil version of the film stars Asin Thottumkal and the South superstar Vijay.

Nevertheless, while Salman has already been signed for playing the lead role in the Hindi remake of the flick, Deepika is not sure yet. However, filmmaker Atul Agnihotri added that they were still working on the script, and would begin shooting for the flick on December 6. Source

Deepika Padukone in real life she chose to wear a saree when she represented India at Cannes film festival. While her gamble for wearing a saree for a high profile event like this has indeed paid off, didn’t she ever feel that it was a risk after all? There haven’t been too many success stories after all in the past when it comes to Indian actresses actually managing to make a splash in international arena.
 
“My funda was simple. I had decided that if I was representing my country then I had to wear something traditional”, she confirms her plans, “For me it was more to go with the flow because that was the correct thing to do.”

Even as appreciation was still coming in, her first look from Ashtuosh Gowariker’s KHELEIN HUM JEE JAAN SE was out in quick time. Yet again, she managed to catch the attention of one and all as she was seen wearing a cotton saree. No wonder, it seems like wearing a saree is in for Deepika Padukone. More
