Deepika Padukone wish to launch her own website
Deepika Padukone has been declared the most searched celebrity on Yahoo! India. She beat contemporaries like Katrina, Bipasha and Kareena to make it to the most-searched celebrity list of 2008.
The actress also plans to launch her own website soon.
She shares her plans, "I am in the process of putting my website together. I think it's a great medium to reach out to people across the world and keep them updated about my work.
I will use the website to chat with my fans." At the moment, she is in the process of getting her domain name, "We are working out a domain name since my actual name is already being used by some other site."
About being the most searched celebrity she says, "It's an amazing feeling. Even though it isn't something that's ground breaking, it goes to show the love the fans have for me.
I think the fact that people want to read about me and know about my work goes to show the love they have for me."
A late user of the internet, Deepika prefers other modes of communication, "I prefer picking up the phone and talking to the person rather than sending a text message.
It's more simple and takes less time. I use the internet to keep in touch with my family abroad and also checking fan mail. In fact, I reply to each and every mail they send."

Have you googled yourself ?
No, never felt the need to. Why would I want to read about myself ?
The first time you used the internet...
It was quite late in life. We got a computer home but that too came in our lives pretty late.
Are you on Facebook?
No, neither do I plan to join any such online community. I prefer sending personal mails rather than joining groups.
Do you know the number of pages dedicated to you?
No, I haven't bothered checking that out
How often do you use the Internet?
I carry my laptop with me when I travel outdoors and I strictly use it to keep in touch with family.
Did you ever stumble upon porn while surfing?
Thank god, no!
Three websites you frequent?
There aren't any as such, I mostly stick to sending emails
Have you checked your videos on You Tube?
I am aware of You Tube but am quite scared to check my videos on the site. I think it's a scare for us actors to see random videos of ourselves.
Have you ever been sent spam mail?
Yes, I think so.
Would you call yourself a net addict?
No, I can survive without the internet.

Bollywood heart-throbs Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone have been nominated for the Best Actor and Best Actress category at the prestigious third Asian Film Awards which were announced here today.
While Akshay was nominated for his action cum comic-caper 'Singh is Kinng', Deepika was nominated for her double role in 'Chandani Chowk to China', the official website said.
'Singh is Kinng' unfolds the story a simple village boy from Punjab who goes all the way to Australia to bring back fellow villagers who have now turned notorious gangsters in a foreign country.
Deepika plays the role of twin sisters in her latest movie 'Chandani Chowk to China'. Her characters in the film have both negative and positive shades. The story revolves around an Indian cook who travels all the way to China in search of his true destiny.
The contenders in the Best Actor's category include China's Ge You for 'If You Are the One', South Korea's Ha Jung-Woo for 'The Chaser and Japanese actors Kenichi Matsuyama for Detroit Metal City' and Masahiro Motoki for 'Departures' and South Korea's Song Kang Ho for 'The Good, The Bad, The Weird'.
Deepika was nominated along with Chinese actresses Zhao Wei for 'The Painted Skin', Zhou Xun for 'The Equation of Love and Death', Jiang Wenli for 'And the Spring Comes' and Japan's Eri Fukatsu for 'The Magic Hour' and Sayuri Yoshinaga for 'Kabei-Our Mother'.
Former bond-girl and the star of "Crouching Tiger" Michelle Yeoh will head the 13-member jury which includes Chairman of Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards, Peggy Chiao among others.
Saif and Deepika pair up for Love Aaj Kal
Saif Ali Khan and Imtiaz Ali are smiling these days. After tearing their hair out to come up with a title for Saif’s home production co-starring Deepika Padukone, they have finally come up with a title that suits the film. It’s Love Aaj Kal.
Our source close to Saif said, “Imtiaz and Saif couldn’t arrive at a decision as far as naming the film was concerned. So they decided to go ahead with their shooting and brainstorm about the film’s name later.
Eventually they both were so hassled that Saif thought of holding a contest inviting the audience to suggest a suitable name for their film.”
After the film’s shooting, Imtiaz and Saif had to eventually sit down for a brainstorming session. The source added, “The duo came up with different names.
After a lot of deliberation and thought, Imtiaz decided to call the film, Aaj Aur Kal, but was still apprehensive about it. Imtiaz wanted to change the title from Aaj Aur Kal to Aaj Kal.
But Saif disagreed with him saying that he wanted a title that would instantly connect with the audience, like Jab We Met. They then decided on Love Aaj Kal.”
Though Imtiaz remained unavailable for comment, a source close to the director confirmed the news and said, “Yes Imtiaz has decided to call the film Love Aaj Kal.Monday, January 19, 2009

Anything in black, saris and salwar kameezes, denims are all here to stay...” Revealing the secret of her sexy bod, Deepika says, “Fortunately being a sports person I never put on weight. But seriously I feel fitness is very important and it's important to be in shape.” Now is this something Sush can learn from this newbie?

Deepika twin sister separated in Fair CC2C
If you are looking for intellectual stimulation at the movies, watch Clint Eastwood’s “Changeling” or wait for “Slumdog Millionaire” — “Chandni Chowk to China” is definitely not what you are looking for.
It’s the first big release of the year, is produced by a big Hollywood studio looking to enter the Indian market and has one of India’s most bankable stars. But it also has a lot of Bollywood “formula”.
Now whether you like this film or not depends on whether you like the “formula”. Do you like the twins separating-at-birth-and-meeting-20-years-later formula? Or perhaps the I-will-avenge-my-father’s-death formula? Take your pick because “Chandni Chowk to China” has taken each and every cliché from Hindi cinema of the 70s and 80s and repackaged it.
Akshay Kumar plays Sidhu, a simpleton cook in Delhi’s famed Chandni Chowk, who fumbles his way through life and is waiting for the stroke of luck that will change his life. Through a chance encounter possible only in Hindi cinema, he meets two natives of China. They are convinced Sidhu is the reincarnation of the ancient warrior Liu Sheng, who will rescue them from the clutches of evil villain Hojo.
Somewhere along the way we also learn of Inspector Chang, whose family was separated because of Hojo. Chang’s twin daughters, Sakhi and Suzie (played by Deepika Padukone) are separated while he loses his memory.
To attempt to explain the story beyond this point is difficult, because the plot gets too convoluted and loses itself at many places. Except for the 20 minutes in the second half, where Chang is training Akshay in the art of kung fu, the rest of the movie is one chaotic scene.
But “Chandni Chowk to China” is unabashed about this chaos. It seems to be saying — this is how we like our movies and this is how we will make them. Who cares about a coherent plot line when you have Akshay Kumar performing stunts and singing mid-air with Deepika Padukone?
Like it or not, this is Bollywood formula at its best or worst, whichever way you look at it.
