Deepika Padukone, who landed on Bollywood with quite a big thud in the form of ‘Om Shanti Om’, made everyone turn and take notice of her efforts in ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’, and actually seems to have found her feet in ‘Chandni Chowk To China’. Considering the fact that she is only two years old in B-town, it is surprising that her presence is all pervading.
She has topped many ‘sexy’ polls, been on the cover of most of the ‘in vogue’ magazines and has never been caught looking anything but heavenly. All this without the ritualistic drop of clothes to reveal a bikini-figure!
In a conversation with a website, she talked about why hasn’t she followed her contemporaries and skipped the bikini-ritual till now. “’It’s not a conscious decision to do it or to not to do it. It’s like - the requirement has never come up. But more than anything, I always think that one should be comfortable with what you’re wearing and I think if those girls thought that it was required and if they can carry it off, which they have done very well, it’s cool,’’ she said.
Recently beau Ranbir Kapoor accidentally hurt Katrina while shooting. Since, she has done a lot of stunts with Khiladi Akshay Kumar, and managed to come off it all unhurt, she said, “Well you know these things are bound to happen. While Ranbir’s never attempted action before; and I’m sure he’ll learn. With someone like Akshay? He’s just too good at it to make a mistake.’’
When Katrina comes into the scene, she automatically becomes an arch competitor in personal as well as professional field. But Deepika is cool and has no green-jealous-itches. “I haven’t seen any of her recent films, but I think considering where she’s come from, she’s done a fantastic job. She’s definitely come a long way. She’s been in the industry for longer than I have and she’s learnt fast. She is definitely an inspiration for a lot of young girls like me who’ve just started off.
