Ranbir Kapoor - Deepika Padukone's on-off relationship continues to make news. The duo looked great in
Bachna Ae Haseeno, but weren't paired thereafter. Reportedly, with their personal equations undergoing a change, the actors have decided against working together. "Completely untrue," Deepika sets the record straight, "I would love to work with Ranbir.
And Ranbir is a professional too. These are mere rumours and shouldn't be entertained."
So why haven't the duo signed any film together? "Ranbir and I have decided that till such time we aren't offered a script that inspires us, we won't work together. I am keen to work with him. So is he. We looked great in Bachna Ae Haseeno," she tells me.
While Deepika started her career with 'seniors' like SRK (
Om Shanti Om), Akshay Kumar (
Chandni Chowk To China) and Saif Ali Khan (
Love Aaj Kal), she's now cast alongside Gen X actors - Abhishek Bachchan (
Khele Hum Jee Jaan Se), Farhan Akhtar (
Karthik Calling Karthik) Neil Nitin Mukesh (Yash Raj's untitled film) and Imran Khan (
Break Ke Baad).
Incidentally, she will have as many as five releases this year, if you count the above-mentioned four films as also
House Full, which teams Akshay and Deepika again. "Yes, 2010 is an eventful year for me. I hope to live up to the expectations that people have from me, after
Love Aaj Kal," she smiles.
