Deepika, Sonam face tough consequences for going against Ranbir

Latest reports from the tinsel town confirmed that Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor will not be joining Ranbir Kapoor in his July 2011 world tour. While actresses like Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu and Malaika Arora Khan will be a part of the tour, Deepika and Sonam have been asked to quit.

It may be recalled that Rishi is upset with the two actresses for making rude remarks on his son's character in 'Koffee With Karan Season 3' and he prefers Katrina over Deepika and Sonam.

Rishi Kapoor admitted that it is impossible to bring Deepika-Katrina on board together saying, "Deepika wanted to come along. We didn't want any stress behind the stage. See, as it is, Ranbir has never been on stage. We want it to go smoothly, no backstage jhik-jhik, please!"

Sonam has backed out from the tour as well. Rishi Kapoor explained, "She begged off saying she didn't have a song repertoire to stand on stage with Katrina and Priyanka."

"We start off in the UK, US and Canada. Then after six months we'll go for another lap of the tour. I've done these world tours over and over again. But for Ranbir, the world tour would be a new experience," he added.

Deepika is face of her dad's Olympic Gold Quest

Actress Deepika becomes the face of her father, ace badminton player Prakash Padukone's organisation Olympic Gold Quest (OGQ).

"I am the face of Olympic Gold Quest. I have just come on board. Olympic Gold Quest is training our athletes for the Olympics in 2012," Deepika told IANS in an interview.

Prakash Padukone launched OGQ a few years back with billiards player Geet Sethi. The negligence of the government towards the athletes made them set up the organisation, which is being funded by corporates and individuals to produce some world-class sportsmen.

"Not enough is being done. In the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games, we have proved that there is enough talent in our country. Not enough is being done in terms of promoting the talent," said Deepika.

"Government is not taking enough care of our athletes. That's why my father and Geet Sethi have set up Olympic Gold Quest, which is a non-profit organisation and the funds come from corporate houses. All of us can also contribute individually," Deepika stressed.

"The fund is used to train athletes. Whether it is tennis, badminton, their coaching, OGQ will take care of their equipment, uniforms and whatever else is required," she said.

Sportsmen like Leander Paes, Viswanathan Anand are already on board. Hockey Olympian Viren Rasquinha is the chief executive of OGQ.

Performance in sports also marks a country's development, says Deepika.

"I think the laurels that a sportsperson brings to the country are also a kind of development. Today, when we talk about America or Australia - these are the countries which are very, very popular in sports as well. So, it's not only the economic, political or infrastructural development, even sports can put you up there on the world map," said Deepika.

The actress maintains that the organisation would soon felicitate the Commonwealth and Asian games winners.

"We will be felicitating OGQ athletes, who performed well in the Asian Games and in the Commonwealth Games," said Deepika.

Deepika and Sonam learn from Kareena

Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor have decided not to talk about their personal lives because they feel "it takes away the attention from your work."

Dear New Actresses, if that were true, Kareena Kapoor would not have been the country's No 1 actress. Bebo has never kept her relationship with beau shrouded in secrecy.

Dippy and Sonam rated Kareena Kapoor as the best actress among five other actresses on Koffee With Karan. So girls, next time, just think before you speak. Contradicting yourself in a span of ten minutes doesn't make you seem very bright.

Did Sonam actually admit to her relationship (yes, it is still very much on) with her I Hate Luv Storys director Punit Malhotra?

When Karan asked her if she was single, Sonam's response was: "You know, Karan...." Even KJo was taken aback by her answer.

Deepika Padukone cast in 'Heer and Ranja'

Deepika Padukone will star alongside Shahid Kapoor in Sabbir Khan's Heer and Ranja.

After casting Kapoor as Ranja, Khan said she felt that Padukone was the first choice for the role of Heer.

"I felt that the Heer's part needed somebody who is young and dynamic," said Khan.

"I just couldn't see anybody beyond Deepika for the role, as I feel that she is one of the finest female actors among the Gen-Next's brigade."

The director expressed her excitement at casting the pair together and said that the decision to do so had been unanimous.

"Everybody is excited to see the pair together," she added.

Shooting of the musical romantic comedy will begin in April 2011.

I want to be a classic heroine

Deepika Padukone has revealed that she's always wanted to play a classic Bollywood heroine.
The actress is to take on Sharmila Tagore's role in a remake of the 1971 blockbuster Amar Prem, New Kerala has reported.

In an interview with the site, she said: "I want to do a classic Hindi-film heroine's part. That's my true calling. I'm really looking forward to it."

Padukone added that she had bonded with former Break Ke Baad co-star Tagore, who the former described as "one of the most elegant ladies" she has ever met.

Kat, Deepika book Ranbir!

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."

Padukone's ex Pandya 'dating Khan'

Deepika Padukone's ex-boyfriend Nihar Pandya now has another actress girlfriend, according to Mid Day.

The aspiring actor is apparently dating model-turned-actress Gauhar Khan, who was last seen in Rocket Singh.

Sources have suggested that the duo have been spotted together several times.

Padukone's other ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor is also allegedly in a relationship with an actress - Katrina Kaif.

Padukone and Kapoor 'put grudge aside'

Deepika Padukone may have to patch up her relationship with Kareena Kapoor, according to reports.

Mid Day says that the younger actress, 24, has been approached to appear in Agent Vinod, which stars Kapoor in the lead female role.

In the past, it has been suggested that the two do not get along with each other.

Rumours have claimed that they fell out when Padukone was chosen for the female lead over Kapoor for Saif Ali Khan's debut production Love Aaj Kal.

"Even though it's a second lead, the character plays an important role. Saif (Kapoor's boyfriend) is extremely professional as a producer and will cast the actor who will do proper justice to the role. And while Kareena and Deepika aren't friends, that will not come in the way of casting," a source revealed.

Saif-Deepika kisses escape Censor scissors

Saif Ali Khan’s home production Love Aaj Kal has cleared the Censor hurdle with just one cut even though the film has, believe it or not, five kisses between Saif and Deepika Padukone.

However, since the kisses were shot aesthetically, the board did not find them vulgar or offensive. Rather, the Regional Officer of the Censor Board describes the kisses as “cute”.

“There are about five kisses in the film but they are not heavy-duty kissing scenes as such,” the Regional Officer is quoted as saying.

Incidentally, none of the kisses between Saif and Deepika in the film extend more than a few seconds. The Board official calls them mere “cute pecks on the lips”.

Even Imtiaz Ali, the film’s director has insisted that there’s nothing in ‘Love Aaj Kal’ that the family crowd would find offensive or repulsive.

Only one dialogue in the entire film was asked to be deleted by the Censor Board.

The film, set for release on July 31, has been cleared with a U/A certificate.

Deepika is tired of comparisons with Kareena

Though Saif Ali Khan’s first home production Love Aaj Kal stars Deepika Padukone with Saif, it’s been Kareena Kapoor who’s constantly been talked about not because Kareena has anything to do with the film but because she’s not in it.

This constant reference to a Rebecca-like presence in Love Aaj Kal has irked Deepika and she has apparently been wondering to her friends if Love Aaj Kal should be dedicated to Kareena!

Laughs Deepika, “Yes, this must be the first film in the history of cinema where a leading lady is so much talked about for not being in the film.

No, I’m not annoyed by these never ending references to Kareena. When people see the film I know they’ll come out talking about me and my performance. Imtiaz Ali was very sure he wanted only me in the film. ”

Deepika for the first time lets out a secret. “Imtiaz was so sure he wanted me for the part he had offered me Love Aaj Kal even before my first film Om Shanti Om was released. Even before seeing me on screen Imtiaz knew I was right for the role. So there was no question of any other actress being in the film. ”

Even Saif has gone on-record with his wistful yearnings for Kareena’s presence in Love Aaj Kal.

Sensible and strong-headed to the hilt Deepika reasons, “Considering Saif is in a relationship with Kareena isn’t it understandable if he wanted Kareena in Love Aaj Kal?

They’ve worked together in the past. And I’m sure he wants to work with her in his home productions. As for Kareena, if I was in her place I’d feel the same way. Don’t I want to work with Ranbir? ”

However she adds, “I wanted to work with Imtiaz long before Jab We Met when I saw his first film Socha Na Ttha.

As this wide-eyed teenager I remember seeing the film and wondering who the director was. I remember many year ago when I was a model Imtiaz had offered me a film. At that time I wasn’t ready for an acting career”.

Deepika’s subtext is loud and clear. Imtiaz discovered her potential long before he discovered Kareena for Jab We Met.

Says Deepika, “In fact when I had told him I was’t ready to join films Imtiaz had said, ‘When you’re ready let me know. ’ He kept his promise. That’s how I got Love Aaj Kal. So now I’m not affected by people talking more about Kareena than me “

Deepika says she has too much on her plate to be bothered with what her colleagues are up to. “I’ve been trying to finish off everything and go to London to shoot for Sajid Khan’s House Full.

I get tired of my schedules sometimes. I may be an athlete at heart. But being an actor means you also have to be a juggler."

Kisses and butt grabbing not vulgar in ‘Love Aaj Kal’

The intimate scenes between Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in Love Aaj Kal won’t offend family audiences, says director Imtiaz Ali .

The promo of the movie is getting a lot of attention because it shows eye-grabbing stuff like Saif trying to hold Deepika's butt or sharing an unabashed kiss with her in the car and also cussing Hinglish expletives on a date.

But the director is not worried. He says the promo packs all that is ‘objectionable’ in the film.
“Kisses included, nobody will feel inhibited watching ‘Love Aaj Kal’. No one will hesitate walking into the film with his family. All that is potentially objectionable in the film in the strictest of sense has been taken care of in the first promo. If you have warmed up on it, rest assured you will love Love Aaj Kal,” Ali is quoted as saying by IANS.

In fact, there were certain people in the production team who thought the overt promos might give a wrong impression about the movie, but Ali differs with them.

“They thought that people may get an impression that the film was only about these things but I had my own viewpoint…My argument is that audiences are really smart. They pretty much see the intention of the filmmaker and make up their mind to watch the film accordingly,” Ali explains.

The movie has Saif and Deepika in dual roles as the story is set in two time periods. In the first roles, Saif and Deepika play Jai and Meera, a modern-day couple in London. They are very happy together but do not believe in tying each other down. In the second time period, in the Calcutta of 1965, they play a Punjabi couple Veer and Harleen.

Ali also goes on to reveal that ‘Love Aaj Kal’ is primarily aimed at youth and family crowds.

“The film caters to them mainly because it's this age group that goes and sees films in theatres. Due to this, even when I am conceptualizing a film and then putting it on celluloid, I feel safe from my target audience perspective,” Ali said.

Timeless Beauty On Vogue

Her beauty looks timeless on the Vogue cover, July edition. That’s why Deepika Padukone ’s cosmopolitan yet Indian looks make her the most sought-after belle for the covers of celebrated fashion magazines.

And here she is again in a different avatar. Deepika has worn Dolce Gabbana spring 2009 collection gown with white flower embellishments all over it, making the costume this “seasons’s most romantic dress”. Deepika’s 1940s classic hair-do and make-up will not make us forget that vintage is in vogue. She carries this retro look with elegance and panache.

But another similar Dolce Gabbana dress was last seen on Diana Penty, the brand ambassador of Maybelline, on L’Officiel March 2009 edition cover, making the Vogue one common. This is not the first instance of such similarity. It seems magazines are really running short of outfits.

Getting back to Deepika, in one of the stills she is seen in an Alberta Ferretti black silk dress posing with an antique comb and adding to the retro feel of the mag’s photo shoot. Inside the issue Padukone reveals how she starts her day, and, needless to say, also about boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor .

Like any other actress, Deepika doesn’t start her day with a glass of water but “a maaaajor breakfast” which she calls “very South Indian”. And when she discusses Bollywood with Ranbir, the duo don’t crib or carp about anyone. Putting “anyone down” is not in her nature, says Deepika
