Deepika showstopper for day 4 at LIFW

Bollywood's male brigade comprising of Shreyas Talpade, Aftab Shivdasani, Manoj Bajpai, Prateik Babbar and John Abraham dominated Lakme Fashion Week on day 3 as they walked the ramp as showstoppers for their designer friends. The actresses made their presence felt but only as the front row audience. Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Sophie Chowdhury, Kajol, Genelia D'Souza all have so far attended shows but not as showstoppers.

Day 4 however will see things changing as Bollywood heroines will be seen scorching the ramp too!

We've heard, Sushmita Sen will walk the ramp for Vikram Phadnis while Deepika Padukone will walk the ramp for Gauri and Nainika. Malaika Arora Khan will too sizzle on the ramp for fashion designer Mandira Wirk on Sep 21st, day 4 of Lakme Fashion Week. Apart from Sushmita, buzz is that Diya Mirza might also walk the ramp for Vikram Phadnis.

Deepika's Parents are Very Supportive

Many of the Bollywood actors may be faced with parental pressure one way or the other but not Deepika Padukone, who is a free bird as far as her career is concerned.

And whenever she comes down to her hometown of Bangalore, the ‘Om Shanti Om’ girl gets to hear the same dialogues from her parents -- don't allow yourself to be swept off the feet by the celebrity status nor allow fame to change you as a human being.

Whether at the dinner table or during casual conversations, one subject they don't discuss for sure is: her films, her roles, how much she charges for movies and things of that nature.

"When we meet personally at home, we don't discuss much about films because we don't have knowledge," Deepika's unassuming father, Prakash Padukone, a badminton legend, said.

"Our only job when we meet her is to make sure that she remains grounded and she is in touch with the reality because film world is different, (and there is) lot of hype. It's a different world"

While Working I Don't Think of Deepika :Ranbir

Apparently, Ranbir Kapoor is choosy when it comes to following his co-stars in tinsel town. Apparently Ranbir is keeping up with his fans on social networking site Twitter, and is also following some B-Town celebs on Twitter. But what is taking everyone by surprise is- he has not yet followed his ladylove Deepika Padukone who has been twittering much before he started!
The privileged celebs that are on Ranbir’s mind- Mallika Sherawat, Preity Zinta and Sonam Kapoor. Yes! You read it right, he has given a miss to his ladylove Deepika! On the other hand, Deepika does keep a track on her sweetheart, as she very much follows Ranbir on Twitter.
Mallika Sherawat, Preity Zinta and Sonam Kapoor, ahem! Ranbir seems to be really very choosy, but Deepika does he really have a choice here? Well, it seems yes, what do you have say on that Deepika?

Deepika part of Yuva Dasara @ Maharaja College grounds

As well-known artistes enthral the youth through their music programmes during Yuva Dasara, starlet Deepika Padukone and National award-winning actors Umashree and Prakash Raj are all set to add to the glamour quotient of the event.

Deepika Padukone, Uma Shree and Prakash Raj have evinced interest to be a part of Yuva Dasara.

“All the three will be special invitees for the Yuva Dasara programme to be held at Maharaja College grounds,” District In- Charge Minister Shobha Karandlaje told reporters.

She said folk artistes, Cheluvava of Belgaum and Siddaramaiah from Mysore will be honoured with “Janapada Siri” award.

“We are beginning a new tradition to honour our folk artistes.

Traditional sports like kite flying, Mallakamba and cycling have been added for the first time this year,” said the Minister.

Cultural troupes from Goa, Maharashtra, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh have been invited for the Vijayadashami procession. The Indian Army will present a special programme at the torchlight parade ground, along with a Mallakamba event by the Maratha Regiment.

“Dasara darshana, restricted to the district last year, has been extended to 21 taluks of five districts this year. One Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation bus will ply rural folks to Mysore free of cost to witness Dasara events.

Rural Dasara has been extended to neighbouring Chamaranagar,” she said.

“The malls, complexes, shops and institutions have come forward voluntarily to light up their buildings for Dasara,” said the Minister. She added that total expenditure for Dasara was estimated at around Rs 6.5 crore this year compared to Rs 5.75 crore spent last year.

Deepika is making wise moves

Deepika Padukone seems to be playing her cards very well. After working with Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om, Saif Ali Khan in Love Aaj Kal and Akshay Kumar in Chandni Chowk To China, she is now aiming to work with Salman Khan, despite her equation with Sallu's girlfriend, Katrina Kaif.

Deepika feels Salman is a very honest person. She finds him to be genuine about what he feels and from what she has read and known about him, he seems to be very caring.

Deepika and Salman hit it off like a house on fire when she appeared on his show, Dus Ka Dum.

Interestingly, she has appeared on his show twice.

First, she came with boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor to promote their film, Bachna Ae Haseeno and more recently, she came with Farah Khan and gelled quite well with Salman.

But Deepika is not interested in talking about Katrina.

Not long ago, it was reported that she didn't approve of beau Ranbir and Kat's growing friendship on the sets of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.

Reports are rife that Deepika is responsible for the duo being no longer on talking terms. But she claims she and Ranbir "trust each other" and are going great guns.

The lady says, "Such gossip used to pinch me a lot earlier, but not anymore." On the work front, after the box office dud Chandni Chowk To China, Deepika is once again teaming up with Akshay for a comedy, Housefull, which is being directed by Sajid Khan.

Plus, she is also busy with Farhan Akhtar-starrer Kartik Calling Kartik.
