"Ram-Leela has been the most difficult film that I havedone. This is because I had to go on the shoot like a blankslate everyday and he (Bhansali) would mould me. I would go onthe sets and take the day as it came. So, it was unnervingbecause you don't know how the day would go," she said.
Deepika has given powerful dance performances in the filmbut she did not undergo any formal training to polish herdance moves.

"It has definitely been an exhausting year. I had beenjuggling Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Chennai Express and Ram-Leela. But the results of these movies have been great and Iam happy about it. In terms of the amount of work I am doingor the pace at which I am working, I am loving it. I think Iam almost a workaholic.
"There is no point in a day when I am not thinking aboutwork, or something that is related to work. The only thing Iregret is not spending enough time with my family," she added.
