The director had been trying to rope in Shah Rukh for years. "I had offered him four other films. I never made those films. You can't make a film written for Shah Rukh with anyone else. Then now when he finally gave me 65 days, he said he's busy with the IPL (Indian Premier League) and I'd have to adjust dates accordingly.
supposed to make her debut with a Priyadarshan film but she chose Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om instead. Now, three years later, the actress is making a cameo appearance in the director's much-talked about Billo Barber.
Priyadarshan gives credit to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan for bringing her to the project. Besides Deeepika, Kareena Kapoor also makes a guest appearance in the movie. "Yes, she was being seriously considered for a film called Pirates about music piracy. But the film didn't work out. I'm so glad Deepika made her debut with a film as successful as Om Shanti Om, and that too with Shah Rukh Khan," said Priyadarshan.

For her character ‘Sakhi,’ in her upcoming movie, Chandni Chowk to China, actress Deepika Padukone learned Ju-jitsu. It is a Japanese martial art. Deepika Padukone went on a high-protein diet. She studied Ju-jitsu for four months. In Japanese language, ‘Ju-jitsu’ means gentle skill. As Deepika Padukone was in sports, it was not so difficult for her. Deepika Padukone also learned to do fight sequences hanging from wires and cables. She was trained by a Chinese instructor In Chandni Chowk to China, she did few action sequences all by herself. Though director Nikhil Advani was not sure in the beginning, Deepika Padukone performed the action sequences perfectly. She did not go for a body double and even did some action sequences without using safety cables. Director Nikhil Advani was very much impressed with Deepika Padukone’s high level of professionalism. Actor Akshay Kumar, her co-star in the movie, also helped her a lot.

Deepika Padukone is apparently hurt that her co-star and the producer of Love Aaj Kal, Saif Ali Khan, has been stating in his interviews saying he wishes his lady-love Kareena Kapoor was in the film instead of Deepika, sending wrong signals about his leading lady, and about his home production. But the actress puts up a brave front, "I wouldn't like to comment on it as he's my producer. He's a great producer and a great co-star and I am happy that my director Imtiaz Ali wanted me to be there. I have gone according to his dictates.
It's scary the kind of stuff Imtiaz has envisaged for my character in the film it's so close and similar to me. It's almost as if he had written the film with me in mind." About Saif wanting Bebo in the film in stead of her, he said "He's in love and that's a good thing. I don't feel bad because I am confident about what I have done and I know he won't repent taking me in his film." Deepika is also involved with an actor and cannot ever consider asking a director to cast them together
Bollywood star Deepika Padukone attended Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s birthday party at Enigma, J W Marriott, Wednesday, December 12 and mingled with his close friends and family “as if she belongs to Yuvraj’s family.”
Actress Deepika Padukone was the centre of attention at the birthday party of cricketer Yuvraj Singh on Wednesday.
Bollywood star Deepika Padukone attended Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s birthday party at Enigma, J W Marriott, Wednesday, December 12 and mingled with his close friends and family “as if she belongs to Yuvraj’s family.”
“The duo looked more than just friends if their body language was any indication,” a source told the Mumbai Mirror. In late November, Deepika, 21, and Yuvraj, 26, spent an evening together in Jaipur after the completion of the ODI against Australia.
Deepika flew to Jaipur in Gautam Singhania’s private jet to witness the ODI and spend time with Yuvraj, who is the son of former Indian pace bowler, Yograj Singh.
After the match Yuvraj and Deepika took off on a long drive and wrapped up the day with a romantic dinner.
Deepika is known to be close to Nihar Pandya, a family friend. However, she has steadfastly denied that they are anything more than good friends.
A close friend of Nihar says, “Deepika’s relationship with Nihar is over. She has moved on. Now, Deepika and Yuvraj are a couple.”
India’s ODI cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was at one time believed to be enamored by Deepika.
When quizzed about Dhoni, Deepika denied any romantic linkage telling CNN-IBN recnetly:
When asked how she was cool with Saif touching her butt in an intimate scene in Love Aaj Kal, Deepika Padukone laughed. “Which day and age are we living in, yaar?” Padukone, who was in Delhi to launch the Swiss watch brand Tissot’s Sea Touch, added, “Gone are the days when we had two flowers nodding on screen to depict a kiss. Today, since Saif and I are playing a couple in the movie, we have to touch and even kiss each other. Physical proximity is high and no one minds.” Though viewers have already panned the chemistry between Saif and her, Deepika is oblivious. “On the contrary, I’ve been told that the promos are cute and romantic. And the chemistry is just right.” Buzz has it that Ranbir Kapoor was pushing for Katrina Kaif for a film he was approached for. “I know Ranbir well and I don’t need to buy any of this gossip. He’s a professional. He doesn’t push for anyone. He never pushed for me, so why would he push for Katrina?” she asks? Rumours about an affair between Kat and Ranbir have been rife. She says, “We know how such ‘friendships’ get written about. We’re secure in our relationship and comfortable with each other’s work.” She adds that while they both believe in the institution of marriage, it should happen “only at the right time.” Though the actress has featured on plenty of magazine covers abroad, Katrina Kaif has far more endorsements. “Sure, Katrina has more endorsements in her kitty but then, she’s been around longer than I have. Even when I entered the movies, I was pitted against girls who had been around for a while, like Kareena (Kapoor) and Priyanka (Chopra). Give me some time to grow as an actor first. I’m still new to the business and I don’t take on an assignment unless I am completely convinced. It doesn’t matter to me if someone else takes on five, 10 or 50 assignments
She’ll keep acting until she gets married. No problem! (Just not to Ranbir, please, he’s MINE!) Deepika is pretty. She cannot “act” or even “have chemistry with her male co-stars” but that’s fine. There is always a place for the beauty queens who need work… I see her doing a few more films and then marrying either a) a business tycoon or b) a sports star.
