Deepika Padukone doesn’t hesitate to call Saif a ‘showoff’ when it comes to him showing off his love for Kareena through his half English half Devnagiri tattoo on forehand reading ‘Kareena’. Deepika too has engraved her beau’s initials in the form of a tattoo at the back of her neck reading ‘RK’ but has never talked about it or flaunted it unlike Saif.

When probed about the secrecy of the tattoo, Deepika light-heartedly said, “Saif is a showoff while I feel these things are more personal and should be kept to yourself.” The actress who is way younger than her Love Aaj Kal co-star Saif also added, “Women are more mature when it comes to dealing with relationships than men.” Now Deeps if that was pointed towards Saif or Ranbir is something only you can answer, all we would want to see is how does your tattoo look!

In just six months Deepika Padukone has signed two double roles in Om Shanti Om and Chandni Chowk To China Town and now she gets to do what very few female actors in our country do.Deepika does full-fledged comedy in Sajid Khan’s Houseful.

“It’s not just s few comic scenes here and there. It’s a hardcore comic role. And I wonder how I’ll manage it. Main koshish karungi. Sajid has a great sense of humour and I’d go by his vision. Sajid just told me to follow him. If my director has so much confidence in me I can’t let him down.”

Problem is, Deepak has a very sober image. “But that doesn’t mean I don’t have a sense of fun. I plan to have a ball doing Houseful. I’m a reserved person in real life. But that doesn’t mean I can’t be funny for the camera.”

So after working with Sister Farah it’s bro Sajid. “I’m very fond of both of them. At a time when the entertainment industry wasn’t too confident of me Farah trusted me completely. She didn’t audition even me. Farah who was the one spotted me a talent and actually cast me opposite Shah Rukh.”

She has worked with all the older actors Shah Rukh, Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan before coming to co-stars her own age group.

“Ranbir and I work like pals. But I wouldn’t say I had more fun working with him. You are not on the sets to have fun. But yes, definitely the comfort level with him was much higher even when we weren’t seeing each other. My other co-stars were a lot more mature and I was a lot more reserved with them.But I’ve to tell you, Shah Rukh completely pampered me. Saif is reserved.I’ve heard he wasn’t like this earlier.I believe he has calmed down a lot because of Kareena, or whatever. Saif and I just did our work on Imtiaz Ali’s sets and went our separate ways. That’s the way I like it. I’m a very reserved person. I’m not here to make friends. But yes Bipasha Basu and Minissha Lamba are now friends.”

And another film with Ranbir after Bachna Ae Haseenon? “We get offers every day to act together. But we’re waiting for the right opportunity. The script has to be special.But we’re very clear about not mixing business with our relationship.”

Deepika regrets making their relationship so public. “When we got into a relationship we decided to be open about it. Otherwise there would be reports about us being spotted holding hands, kissing, hugging, etc. Since we were so clear about our relationship we had nothing to hide. I thought people would respect that. But it didn’t work out that way.”

Deepika was especially upset about the paparazzi pictures of her and Ranbir. “We both have families and very repectable families. People who take pictures of us secretly must have families and boyfriends/girlfriends. We’ve now decided not to talk about our friendship.At the end of the day no one is going to see our films because we’re a pair. ”

Tell her there was no upward movement in Ranbir’s graph as an actor from Saawariya to Bachna…. and the protective beloved protests, “His graph was already so high in Saawariya , where could he go? Bachna Ae Haseenon gave him a chance to do something totally different. I too want to get away from the glam sham. Of course I want to wear good clothes and sing good songs. But I’d be uncomfortable doing just songs and dances. Beyond Sajid Khan’s film I haven’t signed any film. Chandni Chowk to Chandni is an out-and-out entertainer. Imtiaz Ali’s films are very real very relevant to today.”

There has been a huge buzz in the film industry and media circles about Deepika Padukone’s lip lock with her Love Aaj Kal co-star Saif Ali Khan in their film. When we caught up with the Om Shanti Om girl at the media meet of Love Aaj Kal and removed the topic about the same, Deepika appeared pretty cool about the whole thing.


She told us, “I think it was necessary in the film. I believed in the role and keeping that in mind I have been able to perform the role well. We have all moved ahead for how long are we going to show flowers or birds tweeting during a kissing scene.”
When asked whether her beau Ranbir Kapoor had seen the film and approved of it, Deepika said, “I have always believed in keeping my personal and professional life apart. We both know our professional demands and we don’t interfere in it. For me I am happy to have him in my life. He is my best friend.”
