Although Deepika Padukone was selected the film, previous commitments to another film made it impossible for her to make her Hollywood debut. According to Deepika, “I don’t regret it. I had to work out things for Ram-Leela here, I couldn’t have left the process mid way, I had given my commitment here first. Looking at the way the film (Ram-Leela) has got a response, I feel good as my hard work has paid off.” She also said, “I would love to do a Hollywood film. The reason for me to do a Hollywood film is same as what I do here in Bollywood.” When asked if she has no issues with a small role in a Hollywood film she said, “There is nothing like a small role. The role has to be of impact, this is what matters, the length of it (role) doesn’t. A good actor can make a presence felt even in a short time.” Deepika is flying high this year with her consecutive blockbusters like Race 2, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Chennai Express and the latest Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela.
Bollywood actor Sunny Deol has never been seen making irrelevant statements or being involved in Bollywood controversies, but whenever the actor speaks, it is for a reason. The star has said that he feels that actors in the film industry are just co-workers and they do not share a friendship or a bond at personal level. The 57-year-old actor stated, “I don’t get involved in things which are not related to work. I don’t do things which have nothing to do with industry. There is no unity in Bollywood and we are just colleagues. Our motto is never to do things together; we want to be strong individually.”
Bollywood’s leading actress Priyanka Chopra has never spoken out on her love life and she clarifies that it’s nowhere related to being “politically correct”. This month the actress was asked at a press conference why she never defies dating rumours and the 31-year-old actress replied, “It’s not because I am being politically correct. It’s just that I’m a private person.” She added further, “I believe that I am putting 90 percent of myself and my family life out in front of the public, I have every right to keep 10 percent of it for myself.” Priyanka, who is a prominent member on social networking sites, also said that women are quite aware of “how much you want to tell.” The Barfi star said, “I am a girl and I have the right to keep my personal life personal.” The session didn’t end without asking the gorgeous lady about her marriage plans and she said, “When somebody who is worth asking me asks me about marriage, then I will see.”
Shahrukh Khan has earned the title of King of Romance through a string of his blockbusters like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kal Ho Naa Ho. So what advice does the Bollywood hottie dish out to men everywhere? “Never disrespect a woman in words, action or spirit.” “You should always take care of small things like opening the door for a lady and never sit before she sits.” “Learn to be gentle with a woman.” “A real man is one who can touch his feminity. I find my masculinity in the fact that I can touch my feminine side.”
