Deepika graces Grazia cover

Two films old and ravishing Deepika Padukone became the hot favorite of advertisers. Her market value is mounting rapidly and promoters are assigning her at a whopping price. When asked about her endorsement value, she said, "I charge what I think I am worth and if people are willing to pay me that much, it must mean that they think that I'm worth it too. No one affords risks like investing in actors they don't really believe in."

After accumulating credits for Om Shanti Om and Bachna Ae Haseeno, she is looking forward for her third release Chandni Chowk To China opposite Akshay Kumar. It is expected that she will score hat- trick with her third venture. Deepika is enjoying her rapid success and quite optimistic about her upcoming role where she is playing dual character.

She talks vigorously about her role, "I am very fond of the movie because it's the first time I have attempted action in a film. I had been training in jujitsu most of last year that involves hanging from cables and wires. There's this particular fight sequence that I have with Akshay in the movie which I was quite nervous about. He taught me action should be like a dance, smooth and graceful."

Deepika to romance Hrithik

Sensuous Deepika Padukone seems to be in love! But hang on she hasn't split up with beau Ranbir Kapoor rather this dusky beauty will be seen romancing Bollywood hottie Hrithik Roshan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next untitled project.

Reports are that Bhansali has finalised the lead couple and is zeroing on rest of the cast.

But the supposed lead actors are silent over the whole episode as currently Hrithik is busy with his home production Kites and Deepika is engrossed with Saif's untitled project directed by Imtiaz Ali. Hope this news is true and we get to see this sizzling pair onscreen soon.

Deepika not to take a break for Diwali

Deepika Padukone has a very tight schedule and will not be getting any break for Diwali this year. She is shooting for Saif's home production directed by Imtiaz Ali.

Confirming the news Deepika said she will be shooting in Delhi and thus will not be able to celebrate Diwali with the family.

Last year, too, Deepika was busy with the release of her debut film “Om Shanti Om”, which kept her away from home during Diwali. But her parents and her sister had come down to Mumbai to visit her.

After shooting in Delhi, she will be back in Mumbai to shoot a promotional video for “Chandni Chowk to China” with Akshay Kumar.

Deepika's tattoo is "too personal"

And actress Deepika Padukone loves it when people compare her reel jodi with real life beau Ranbir Kapoor to classic Bollywood pairs. “Both of us are new to the industry and I believe that we have a great and long future ahead of us.

Compliments motivate us. When people compare us as an on-screen pair to the likes of Nargisji and Raj Kapoor or Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, it makes a huge difference,” she says happily.

But that apart, she’s not so cool with the fact that people discuss their love life more often than their work. “When we were shooting for Bachna Ae Haseeno, we didn’t think we would fall in love with each other. But beyond that, I guess enough has been written about our relationship and we need to focus on our career now. We both, like Ranbir said, thought that people would respect the fact that we’re open about our relationship. But they’ve crossed that line a lot of times, and I’m not sure if I like that at all,” she says seriously.

Speaking of her relationship, does she have a tattoo that says ‘RK’, as is rumoured? Deepika laughs and replies, “It’s too personal for me to talk about it!” But what she does talk about, happily, is the attention that she and Ranbir have been getting as actors. “People like Yash Chopra sir have been in the industry for so many years, and when they walk up to you and say that you light up the screen, it makes a lot of difference,” she says.

However, even after the success of her debut, Om Shanti Om, Deepika didn’t feel any pressure to perform. “I don’t think I was under any type of pressure after the success of OSO. One always has to move on from the success of one movie to better oneself in the others. Yes, I’m very happy that I had a good start in the industry, but then I can’t sit and ponder over that thought.”

The leggy beauty is also bettering herself on the badminton court. She recently played a game opposite her dad, Prakash Padukone, and wants to get back to the game now. “It was nice to be back on the court and play badminton with my father. And the best part was that I won the match! I’m going to get back to playing more often now,” Deepika says.

Hrithik, Deepika, Ranbir in Bhansali’s next

It looks like the debacle that was Saawariya has done nothing to hamper Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s spirits. The acclaimed director who is enjoying the success of his French musical, is now working on his next film. The script is said to be love triangle and will most likely star Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.
Hrithik’s business manager says that this is the second project that Bhansali has offered Hrithik.

“He got this offer from Bhansali after he rejected the first one. Currently talks are going on as Hrithik has liked the script and will make the final decision after he returns back from US where he is currently filming for Kites. He hasn’t yet said yes but he is very happy with the script,” she says.

Another source close to Bhansali also confirmed the news to us. In fact they say that it’s not just Hrithik, but also Ranbir and Deepika who will be a part of the film.

“Sanjay Leela Bhansali has approached Hrithik but at the same time he has also approached Ranbir and Deepika for the other two leads. This film is a contemporary love story and will be a love triangle,” says the source.

If the project falls into place, this will be the first time Bhansali will direct Hrithik. However, before that the director has his hands full with Chenab Gandhi which stars Amitabh Bachchan, Harman Baweja and Vidya Balan

I am more relaxed acting with Ranbir: Deepika

Success sits easy on Deepika Padukone. Relaxing in her make up van outside the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week venue, the lissome model-turned-actor talks animatedly about her smashing debut and her relationship with actor Ranbir Kapoor. “I am only two films old in Bollywood, so I find it a little premature when people call me successful. When I approach a shot, I give it my best. It’s great if the film clicks. If it doesn’t, I don’t brood over it,” she grins, in between getting ready for a turn on the ramp for designers Shantanu and Nikhil’s Fiama di Wills show.

Padukone is still basking in the success of her second release, Sidharth Anand’s Bachna Ae Haseeno. The conversation veers towards Kapoor as her co-star and Padukone acknowledges, “I am more relaxed when I am acting with him and it shows on screen,” she smiles. In fact, ever since their romance became public, there have been many offers for them as a lead pair. But the actor is quick to point out in the same breath that they are not looking to cash in on their romance. “We don’t approach offers thinking it will give us more time with each other. We have been signing projects only if they are appropriate for our careers. With that kind of money involved, nobody takes a risk unless they are confident it will pay off,” she says.

Soon, we’ll see the 22-year-old in Nikhil Advani’s Chandni Chowk to China opposite Akshay Kumar, where she again has a double role after Om Shanti Om. “I am very fond of the movie because it’s the first time I have attempted action in a film. I had been training in jujitsu most of last year that involves hanging from cables and wires,” says Padukone, with some bruises from her action sequences clearly visible.

“There’s this particular fight sequence that I have with Akshay in the movie which I was quite nervous about. He taught me action should be like a dance, smooth and graceful,” she recalls. Even as she waits for the release of the film during Diwali, the actor is busy shooting for director

Deepika Padukone graces the cover of Grazia

You have always heard them say that 'A Diamond is a girl's best friend'. But have you ever wondered that who is a guy's best friend? Well, we cannot speak for others though, but one thing's for sure that if the guy is Ranbir Kapoor, then, his best friend HAS to be Deepika Padukone, who also is the cover-girl for this issue of the fashion magazine Grazia!

If looking a thousand bucks means looking beautiful, then, the snaps of Deepika in this issue simply makes her priceless! Maybe, that's why she is justified to the core when she declares that "I charge what I think I am worth and if people are willing to pay me that much, it must mean that they think that I'm worth it too. No one affords risks like investing in actors they don't really believe in." Deepika is one girl, who can glorifyingly justify the term 'Hot Property' with her elegance and persona to match!


Lastly, to add a few words of wisdom, let us also tell you that Prakash Padukone, besides being an ace badminton player and also Deepika's proud father, is also the reason as to why she is so much grounded even though at the peak of her career! In her own admission, she says "My father's always told me that fame is temporary and it's not important to dwell on it too much."

With those values intact, Deepika surely will climb the ladder of success in this glam world.

Jab we Met Imtiaz ali Directing Deepika padukone In a New venture

Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali is going to direct Deepika Padukone in his next venture under Saif Ali Khan’s production. Imtiaz tasted success by casting Kareena in his last flick and sweeped away maximum award but he did not carry forward his lucky mascot and to everyone’s surprise he cut off Bebo from his new flick and casted newcomer Deepika Padukone who is just two films old and still to prove her credentials.

About casting Deepika, he says, “Casting Deepika was a risk, it was a challenge to myself, because she is a newcomer.” Another reason Deepika made the cut was “because her character is very silent, hiding various things inside her.

I thought it suited her really well.”But why not Kareena? “I am more fond of Kareena than people think. I really like her a lot. If I’d cast her, she would’ve easily pulled off the role,” says Imtiaz. He is yet to decide the title of the flick.

Shot in Red Fort, Purana Qila and on the streets of Delhi and some parts in London, San Francisco and Kolkata, it traces the story of Jay (Saif) and Meera (Deepika) and the impact of modern day practicality on relationships.This untitled flick of Saif and Deepika is still in the production stage and expected to hit the silver screen by early next year.
