Japanese PM falls for Deepika Padukone

Recently, Deepika Padukone was invited to the PM’s residence at 7 Race Course Road, Delhi to have dinner with the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and 20 cabinet ministers. The dinner was in honor of the Japanese PM Yukio Hatoyama and his wife, Miyuki Hatoyama. They are presently visiting India and are huge fans of Bollywood films.

They liked Deepika in Om Shanti Om a lot and wanted to meet her. The PM’s office then called Deepika and asked her if she would like to come to dinner. The actress, who was shooting for Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khelenge Hum Jee Jaan Se in Goa, readily agreed and took a day off from shooting. She was very excited and nervous and felt that she was privileged and honoured to be invited to the occasion. She wore a Manish Malhotra saree for the event Advertisement

Deepika Padukone joins the crorepati bandwagon

Deepika has emerged as the reigning queen of the ad world during 2009. The actress has doubled her take-home income compared to what she was worth in 2007-2008. Deepika is much sought after in both premium and mass brands, right from high-end watches, airlines, clotheslines and even chewing gum.According to industry estimates, from a time when she was charging around Rs 60 lakh for an endorsement, Deepika now stress almost Rs 1.5 crore per ad, follow in the footsteps of Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif (both around Rs 2 crore an ad) and Priyanka Chopra (Rs 1.5-2 crore).

“I think what made people accept me is that I can be glamourous and also the girl-next-door. I have heard this from people who have approached me with campaigns and endorsement offers. I have worked really hard to get what I’m getting. I’m very passionate about movies and my invariable effort is to outdo myself and challenge my acting skills. I’m happy with what I have got – but this isn’t enough,” Deepika told a daily.

Discussion about her competitors from B-town, Deepika told the daily, “I just love how Kareena carries herself. She is extremely graceful. I think Katrina is very hard working and that is a big reason behind her success. Priyanka has shown how versatile she can be and done some very good work lately.” It’s not just ads that are keeping this diva on her toes. The actress has five back-to-back films releasing in 2010.

Deepika Padukone hides Ranbir Kapoor’s tattoo

When love was in the air, Deepika Padukone inked Ranbir Kapoor’s tattoo on her backside. At present that her issue with Ranbir died down, her tattoo has been creating nuisance. Deepika is shooting for Ashutosh Gowariker’s periodic film ‘Khelenge Hum Jee Jaan Se’ in Goa and her tattoo is quite evident. When camera focuses her back, Ranbir’s tattoo is making main focus.

As a outcome, Deepika had to hide the RK tattoo. The film revolves around the Chittagong rising in the pre liberty days and Deepika needs to tie her hair in a bun for a fight sequence. Deepika’s tattoo usually remains hidden behind her locks but when she tied her hair in a bun, it was quite revealing. Ashutosh again sent her to the dressing room to style her hair in a different way.

The source adds, “It was embarrassing for Deepika when Ashu sent her back to the dressing room. She was flustered initially but then, she came out of her vanity van with a different hairdo that covered the tattoo and completed the sequence.”In the film, Abhishek Bachchan plays the lead hero.

Ranbir-Deepika’s split a blessing for Rocket Singh

They say no publicity is bad publicity. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone must be having hard time with the jounos keep asking them about their alleged break-up, but it has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Ranbir’s latest offering Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year, where he acts with newcomer Shazahn Padamsee.

The makers of Rocket Singh didn’t promote the film aggressively and director Shimit Amin defended that it was to arouse curiosity amongst the public. But the truth is, a good opening requires good publicity however big a film is. Luckily, the break-up rumours of its lead actor with his girlfriend Deepika came handy.

Don’t know how true the splitting story is but it has surely pushed Ranbir into the minds of the people. Who knows if he deliberately refused to clarify the rumours, knowing that it would bring good fortune to his film.

Will Deepika get rid of her Ranbir tattoo?

Juicy Mausi is rather amused by this one. There was a time when the presence or absence of an engagement ring on a star’s finger made all the news. Now, it’s tattoos which decide whether a star couple is dating or not.And so it happened at an event that Deepika Padukone, who is fresh from her break-up with hot Ranbir Kapoor, was asked uncomfortable questions by the media – the best one being what she’s gonna do with the famous ‘RK’ tattoo on her nape.

Already a little awkward with break-up questions, Deepika chose to remain silent. After all, silence is golden. But not for the journos. They persisted with merciless questions, and the actress understandably snapped back. Poor Deepika! Methinks she should chill out a bit, and do what her Love Aaj Kal character did – have a break-up party! That should heal some wounds.

Deepika Padukone Wants to be Fair!

Deepika Padukone cutting off ties with Ranbir?

Once bitten, twice shy. It seems actress Deepika Padukone is determined to keep a distance from her ex beau Ranbir Kapoor since they broke up recently. And now, she is cutting off all ties with him including professional life.The grapevine is abuzz with the news that a popular filmmaker approached Deepika to act in his film.

However, she turned down the offer simply because he was planning to cast her ex beau Ranbir in the lead role.It is said that Deepika has turned a workaholic after parting ways with Ranbir. She used to divide time between her acting career and her boyfriend when she was seeing him but now, the story has changed. She is now giving her everything to films.

Deepika Padukone replacing Priyanka Chopra

The latest buzz in industry circles is that Rakesh Roshan has plans to start filming the sequel to his desi super hero flick, Krrish by September 2010. Playing the title role, Hrithik Roshan will however not be romancing Priyanka Chopra in this one, our sources claims.Sources further reveal, “Roshan Sr. who will be directing the film apart from producing it, is considering Deepika Padukone to play the lead, although there has been no confirmation. While the first film in the series Koi Mil Gaya had Preity Zinta in the lead opposite Hrithik, Krrish featured Priyanka Chopra. There are no plans for her to return, so it remains to be seen who would step into the leading lady’s role.”

It is also believed that Roshan Sr. has had early discussions with the SFX team and a big crew of foreign technicians who worked on Krrish. They have been bouncing off ideas on where to take the character and how to develop it.?Letting us in the secret, our source further reveals that Rakesh has zeroed down on a plotline where Krrish battles his evil counterpart in the sequel. Apparently, Rakesh is keen on having Hrithik play a grey character ever since he saw his performance in Dhoom 2. Krrish will be seen saving the 7 wonders of the world, which makes a perfect foil to include extensive shots of diverse foreign locations.

Hrithik will also undergo vigorous physical training for the role. He has completed Kites, which is all set for release next year. He is currently shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish with Aishwarya Bachchan.

Deepika becomes workaholic after break-up

After her recent split with Bollywood's current heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone has found a new mantra to keep herself out of the emotional turmoil. Buzz is that the actress is accepting work left, right and centre to keep herself busy. The actress has green lighted many film projects in order to keep herself occupied.

Although Deepika used to be with Ranbir wherever he shot, now it's a different story. Reports are that Deepika has turned workaholic in order to keep Ranbir out of her mind.

Well, must say the formula is a sure fire cure for a freshly broken heart. Keep it up Deepika.

Neetu Singh never liked Deepika Padukone

A lot is being said and written about the reason behind Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor calling off their relationship. From Ranbir's hookup with Katrina Kaif to Deepika's over possessive nature there hasn't been a angle that hasn't been talked about. But the truth is that many factors played catalyst to the split, one of them being Ranbir's mother Neetu Singh. Deepika may have dated Ranbir but she could never become close to the Kapoors.

Deepika and Neetu were always known to share cold vibes and Neetu had never been too happy about her son's choice. It may be recalled that earlier in the year Neetu had said that Deepika was just another girlfriend in her son's life. The actress of the yesteryears had also said that both of them were young and marriage was a long way to go and it was also not sure if they would stick to each other. Well it seems like Neetu's words have come true in less than a year. Advertisement

Deepika-Ranbir split; Kapoor more excited about film than relationship

Ranbir-Deepika split is the talk of the town, but the couple refuses to confirm the news. The catch is, they refuse to deny it either!

In an exclusive interview with Spicezee.com, Ranbir Kapoor replied in a way that left hardly any doubts about a cooling off of his two-year-old relationship with Deepika Padukone. The couple had been going around since their launch in Bollywood two years back, and their off-screen chemistry was worth watching. But the spark seems to have deserted them, and the split is open for the public to gape at.

It’s all over between Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone!
While he was talking about his upcoming film ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahani’ with co-star Katrina Kaif, he was asked about his split with Deepika. He replied, “Having spent this small time in Bollywood I have understood that media linkups crop up. I would rather speak about aomthing I am more excited about. I would rather speak about my film than my relationship. I would not keep contradicting statements by media.”

Now, the absence of a denial is glaringly visible in his reply.

When further asked about the most prominent ‘jodi’ in Bollywood currently, he quipped, “Katrina-Ranbir!”

While Deepika was completely wiped out thus from the scene, Kat ruled even more regally. Ranbir added, “ Katrina is an ‘Ajab’ type of item – if I may say so. While shooting she would say something strange that would sink in only after a few days!”

Has Deepika already become history and been replaced, too? Advertisement

Deepika Padukone miffed by Ranbir Kapoor

You may call it an irony of fate. Finally, when Neetu Kapoor started to develop a fondness for Deepika Padukone, her son Ranbir Kapoor is having a tough time keeping his love affair afloat with the dusky beauty.We hear the young couple are having endless tiffs these days sparking unsavoury rumours of an impending break-up.After one such recent showdown, Ranbir looked as if he had had enough. The couple did not attend Karan Johar’s fashion show after their spat, but were seen together later that evening at designer Shabina Khan’s bash.According to sources, looking at their faces one could easily detect the stress in their relationship. Deepika feels Ranbir is not committed to her.

Confirming the news, a tabloid quoted a source as saying: “Everyone knows Neetu never really approved of Deepika for her son even though Ranbir tried, and succeeded, to a large extent, to make his mum thaw towards his girl. Deepika somewhere felt Ranbir wasn’t making a commitment to her, even though she was fully committed to the relationship because he was waiting for mummy’s approval.Everyone around them is wondering if this is the beginning of the end.But a friend of the actress said: “They are together. Fights happen in every relationship. This is the eighth time that everyone has been convinced they are heading for a split. But it’s fine. They’ve patched up.”Meanwhile, when the team of Karthik Calling Karthik told Deepika she needed to smoke for her role in the film, the actress was afraid of getting addicted to cigarettes.

But thanks to producer Ritesh Sidhwani’s thinking, they shot for the scenes with organic cigarettes.In the movie, Deepika plays a modern girl, who smokes but eventually quits.Talking about the issue, Sidhwani said: “It’s a film about a lovable loser and a modern, hip girl, who eventually quits smoking. So, we have a nice message in the end.”

Ranbir-Deepika’s love story over?

Bollywood’s youngest love story between Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone seems to be dying its slow death. Their constant fights have taken a toll on their relationship and the two look far away from a patch up. The couple who had started dating during the shooting of Bachna Ae Haseeno in Australia do not seem to have anything left in their relationship and repeated efforts from close friends to cool things down between them have gone in vain.

They raised eyebrows when they arrived separately at Karan Johar’s fashion show during the India Couture Week recently. This was followed by a fight the same night at Shabina Khan’s birthday bash. Ranbir Kapoor is feeling suffocated in the relationship as Deepika is known to be very possessive when it comes to her beau. Her constant surveillance over his life has become one major reason for their break up.

Deepika has been engaged in a cat fight with Katrina for quite some time now over this issue. Also that fact that Ranbir’s mom Neetu Singh never approved of his affair with Deepika seems to be acting as a catalyst towards this break up. All we can say is that it will need a miracle for the couple to patch up and come back together in life.

Deepika asks Katrina to stop spreading rumours

The war between Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif seems to be becoming the hottest issue in tinsel town so much so that now the Shahrukh-Salman brawl is looking small in comparison to their cat fight. The two have been fighting over Ranbir Kapoor's closeness to Katrina during the shooting of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahini. Deepika accepted that she felt insecure about her relationship especially after the rumour of Ranbir’s intimacy with Katrina.

Deepika also rubbished the rumours of her closeness with Farhan Akhtar with whom she is shooting for the movie Kartik Calling Kartik. She was shooting an intimate scene for the movie with Farhan when an uninvited Katrina landed on the sets. Deepika zeroed in on Katrina to have spread the rumours. Taking a dig at her she said it was very easy to figure out who had spread the rumours. Deepika and Ranbir had a fight Shabina Khan's party and Katrina was thought to be the reason behind it.

Deepika Padukone to play chain Smoker?

Oh my god! What do I hear? Just when there's been so much controversy over smoking on screen, comes the buzz that Deepika Padukone will be seen puffing away in Karthik Calling Karthik.

But knowing what a health freak she is, I knew she wouldn't just start the habit for a role. So, my dear Deepika convinced the producer to fetch nicotine-free cigarettes for her.

So sure is Deepika of what she cannot do, she was even ready to refuse the coveted role – just so that she doesn't send out a wrong message. Advertisement
