Kat, Deepika book Ranbir!

Deepika Padukone

Mumbai temperatures in July 2011 will dip to an all-time low.

Three of Bollywood's hottest girls — Katrina Kaif (the leader of the brigade), Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone — are likely to accompany Bollywood's young box office Prince, Ranbir Kapoor, on a world tour.

In the last couple of years, Ranbir's popularity in the overseas market has risen to several degrees. Trade analyst Amod Mehra confirms that, "Prakash Jha's Raajneeti did such good business abroad only because of Ranbir and Katrina. He is a huge draw with the NRIs."

Even unknown to most people, Rishi Kapoor has been getting offers for a world tour featuring his superstar son for the last couple of years. However, Rishi has steered clear of temptation and didn't want Ranbir to travel on a world concert till such time as the young actor has enough chartbusters to bring the concert venues down!
It is being suggested that the world tour is scheduled for July 2011 because it can then feature the chartbusters from several Ranbir films including Bachna Aye Haseeno, Wake Up Sid, Anjaana Anjaani and even Imtiaz Ali's Rock Star. It is said that the organisers want the Kapoor scion to be accompanied on this tour by his leading ladies Katrina, Priyanka and Deepika.

A source from overseas says, "Such is the craze for Ranbir and his teen deviyaan show that the non-resident Indians are already making enquiries about it." (taheena)

Housefull - Review >>>

Don't worry about how to spend your time this weekend! Director Sajid Khan have come up with a romantic comedy, "Housefull", which brings wholesome entertainment to all types of viewers.

The movie has a long star cast - Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan, Arjun Rampal, Ritesh Deshmukh, Boman Irani, Randhir Kapoor, Chunky Pandey, Subhan Nadiadwala and Malaika Arora. And, all are perfect.

The box office witnessed a slump in the recent weeks with a series of boring and not-so-good movies. However, "Housefull" is all set to break the lull and enthrall the audience with full entertainment.

Akshay Kumar plays the lead role in the movie with an "unluckiest" tag. He is in search of his true love, which he believes will end his bad luck. He gets married to the daughter (Jiah Khan) of a wealthy businessman Kishore Samtani (Randhir Kapoor).

Then comes the twist in the tale! The story rolls on with the entry of Deepika Padukone, who falls in love with Akshay. And, many others enter the scene. It's a fantastic movie, of course.

Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Ritesh Deshmukh and Boman Irani have come up with brilliant performances throughout the movie. There is not a single stage, which will make you feel bored. You will definitely stick to the chair for full-time and may not even want to come out, when the movie is over.

First time I’ve actually and truly fallen in love: Deepika

Post Om Shanti Om (OSO) how has your life changed?
All this is very new for me. My father (bandmintom champ Prakash Padukone) was also a celebrity. But we were never exposed to much media coverage. Before I went into the modeling profession I did go into my dad’s profession it was the expected thing. I played bandminton at the national level.But I realized my heart was set on modeling.Movies weren’t even in my range of vision. But after two years of modeling I started getting film offers I was only 18 then. I didn’t want to jump into anything.

What took you down south?
You mean my Kannada film Aishwarya? I am from Karnataka and it was directed by a young and talented man Indrajit Lankesh. And I was paired with a huge Kannada star Upendra.

Did you speak your own lines?

Yes I did. I learnt Kannada in school. Farah Khan had already offered me OSO. But we were to shoot a year later. So I did the Kannada film.You remind me of Aishwarya Rai.
I’d take that as a compliment. I grew up watching her. When I was in school I remember how thrilled I was when she won Miss World. Ash and Sushmita are people I’ve admired.

You’re still young. Don’t you miss doing the normal things?
I do the normal things. I’ve life away from my work. But yes, I definitely feel a lot older than girls my age.I started working and moved out of home at a very young age. I tried to work out of my home- town Bangalore. But like it or not Mumbai is the mecca for the glamour and entertainment industry.

Do you miss Bangalore?
In Mumbai I definitely miss my family. For me ordinary things like having warm food on the table or getting the car ready to leave for the day are not so easily obtainable. Like all girls I’d like to see my parents when I wake up in the morning. That isn’t possible when you’re living alone.

Is Mumbai a lonely city?
No definitely not. I’ve lots of friends in Bombay. And I haven’t changed for them, nor they for me.Yes, certain people around me have changed. But people who are really important to me, that’s my parents and my childhood friends are with me.One needs to have friends outside one’s profession to interact and to share one’s life with. Otherwise I’m not the party-hopping kind.

What do you and Ranbir talk about?
Well…we do know what’s going on in each other’s careers. But otherwise we try to keep cinema out of our conversation. We try not to get into one another work space.

It’s amazing but both of you started your careers in Hindi as fierce rivals in Saawariya and OSO?
That rivalry was more media-created than anything else. Comparing me with Sonam was so uncalled-for. We come from two totally space. We started differently. She assisted Mr Sanjay Bhansali. I come from the modeling world. And our debut vehicles are so different. Fortunately we were too involved with our own projects and had no time to think of each other as competition.

You started with Shah Rukh Khan as a co-star. Can it get any bigger?
I hope it does. Initially I was very nervous about working with him. But Farah and Shah Rukh made it very comfortable for me. We did readings together, we met socially so that we were comfortable when we faced the camera.He’s again someone I grew up watching. You have acquired the reputation of being extremely choosy. Yes. Every project takes up so much of your time. You’ve to be sure of what you’re doing. So often I say no because I don’t have the time. I meet every director who wants to meet me. I do consult my parents.It would be unfair to distance them from my career just because they aren’t part of the entertainment industry. But the final decision is mine.Your dad is a celebrity in his own right.Yes but nothing to do with the entertainment industry. During his time sportspersons didn’t do endorsements, advertisements. I’m really close to both my parents.Ever since I moved to Mumbai it’s a different kind of relationship with them. The fact that we live in different cities has brought us closer. I feel much closer to them. Sometimes I feel bad at the unwanted attention they get because of me.They’re bombarded with all kinds of questions about me. It wasn’t like that during their times. My parents are very simple reason.

Is the image of the boyfriend deserter hurtful?
The media needs to be a little restrained. I am a simple girl and from a respectable family. And loose talk about me harms my reputation.One day like any other girl I intend to settle down and have children. How would those write-ups look at that time? I’m so glad I’ve found a man who comes from the same space and understands the pitfalls of sensational journalism.I feel after a point no one will take these write-ups making a tamasha out of my life seriously.

Why did you and Ranbir decide to go public about your mutual feelings?
Because this is the first time I’ve actually and truly fallen in love. Being in love is the lovelist feeling. When two people are getting close they need time to understand one another.I’ve reached an age when I can’t be in a frivolous relationship. Linking me to so many men at a time when I wasn’t sure about my feelings was unfair.

Did the earlier link ups collapse because of excessive attention they got?
Quite possible. At the end of the day it was just destiny that I was meant to be with Ranbir. And we’re very happy together.

Do you get time to be with one another?
We try to be together as much as possible. We did a film together Bachna Ae Haeseon. That’s when we got close. We had met and interacted earlier. But we didn’t get a chance to know each other well enough.He was busy with his film. I was busy with mine. We were both under all kinds of pressure. Everything became very messy.In Australia when we shot together we started afresh. We almost met like two new people.There was no baggage to be carried forward from the past. Because even in the past we didn’t part bitterly

Bollywoods Hot Actress Deepika has no time for Ranbir!

The new face of Bollywood Deepika Padukone is a busy bee these days. She is overloaded with work and hardly finds time to spend with her beau Ranbir Kapoor. For months long, she is out of station, shooting in Bangkok for Chandni Chowk to China with Akshay Kumar and did not get free time to meet her boyfriend.

To spend time together in an isolate place apart from work, she even purchased a house close to Ranbir’s residence in Bandra but outdoor shooting restricts her from relaxing in her residence too. She has recently stepped into Bollywood but work is keeping her busy 24/7. Unable to bear the distance from his love for a long time, Ranbir also dropped on the set of Chandni Chowk to China to meet her.

After completing Chandni Chowk to China, she will be off to Venice to shoot a song with Ranbir in Siddharth Anand’s Bachna Eh Haseeno. Immediately after that she would be busy with Imtiaz Ali’s romantic film with Saif Ali Khan. Deepika is struggling between love and work. 365 days seems insufficient for her.

Ranbir Kapoor plays the perfect boyfriend for Bollywood Actress Deepika Padukone.

Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor are showing love youngistaan style. Touted as one of the biggest superstars of the future, Ranbir and Deepika haven't been hiding their love from the public. In fact a little birdie tells us that Ranbir is quite good with his hands... now don't go thinking anything. All we are saying is that he was recently seen flexing his muscles at Deepika's new home at Pali Hill.


“Last week, Deepika moved into her new house at Cozy Home Apartments in Bandra’s posh Pali Hill, next to Ranbir's bungalow, Krishna Raj. Believe it or not, Ranbir helped her to physically move her furniture into her new house. Ranbir did not have any starry airs. He was helping the workers move her stuff into her new house. He would be seen carrying things like lamps and stuff up," says a witness.

"Deepika has almost become a part Ranbir's family. She has met his aunts, uncles and cousins. And Neetu aunty has really bonded with her too. In fact when Deepika was looking for apartments Neetu aunty really helped her out as well," says a friend of the couple, "They two have been inseparable since their return from Australia. And with their shooting schedules all over the place for the coming year, the two wanted to live close by so that they could meet as much as possible!

Recently, Ranbir visited Bangkok for a photo session with a film magazine and while there he landed up on the sets of Chandni Chowk To China where girlfriend Deepika was shooting with Akshay Kumar.

Our khabroo who was present on the sets informs us, "Ranbir dropped in to meet Deepika on the sets of the film, during his stay in Bangkok. Deepika and Akshay were shooting an intimate scene when Ranbir landed up on the sets. Not just that, he sat in front of the monitor observing the scene closely as the two enacted the scenes."

While Deepika blushed and was obviously conscious of Ranbir’s presence, Ranbir seemed to quite enjoy it all, and was cool. Our source informs, "It was quite obvious that Deepika just couldn’t get her act right because she was extremely conscious of Ranbir's presence. As a result, she had to give several takes. After every cut, Deepika would run to Ranbir and the two would cootchie-coo and discuss the scenes.

Well all is not so rosy in this love story as Sonam Kapoor is still suffering from heartbreak and is nursing her heart silently “Sonam was quite hurt about the way Ranbir went about flaunting his love for Deepika and completely ignored Sonam after that. The two of them were very good friends and suddenly she finds that he has no time for her. And its not just that… obviously Sonam and Deepika are competition to each other. They debuted together and each one has a point to prove,” says the source.
