Deepika says Ram-Leela has been the most difficult film of her career
Highlights
- Actress Deepika Padukone, whose sizzling onscreen chemistry with Ram-Leela co-star Ranveer Singh is talk of the town, says her notions about romance are very traditional.
- The 27-year-old actress is playing a free-spirited girl opposite Ranveer in the musical adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet.
- "I believe in the old school form of love, which I have seen growing up with my parents and my extended family. I am very traditional when it comes to love, marriage and relationships. This is because I do not know any other way as I have been brought up like this," Deepika said. For the actress, who has collaborated with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the first time, Ram-Leela has been the most difficult film of her career.
- "Ram-Leela has been the most difficult film that I have done. This is because I had to go on the shoot like a blank slate everyday and he (Bhansali) would mould me. I would go on the sets and take the day as it came. So, it was unnerving because you don't know how the day would go," she said.
- Deepika has given powerful dance performances in the film but she did not undergo any formal training to polish her dance moves.
- "Fortunately or unfortunately I have never needed to take any kind of formal training. I learnt Bharatnatyam when I was in school. It's not that I learnt it specifically for the films.
- "Before Om Shanti Om, I went for Kathak classes for about six months, after that I think with every other song that I have done in movies, I rehearse before we go to shoot but there is no formal training," she added.
- It has been a busy year for Deepika, who has given back-to-back hits with Race 2, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Chennai Express. However, she does not intend to take a break and would be filming Happy New Year, her third film starring Shah Rukh Khan.
- "It has definitely been an exhausting year. I had been juggling Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Chennai Express and Ram- Leela. But the results of these movies have been great and I am happy about it. In terms of the amount of work I am doing or the pace at which I am working, I am loving it. I think I am almost a workaholic.
- "There is no point in a day when I am not thinking about work, or something that is related to work. The only thing I regret is not spending enough time with my family," she added.
