Deepika’s upset by the debacle of Chandi Chowk to China but is hoping to bounce back
Q-What do you fell about the poor response to ‘Chandi Chowk to China’?
A-I can still count it as a great experience. If you work hard on a film or anything and then it doesn’t do well, you are obviously disappointed but it was a great experience for me. I learnt a lot from it. It’s an experience that pushes me to better myself and my performances.
Q- Now you have another biggie Imtiaz Ali’s film, ‘Love Aaj Kal’ with Saif Ali Khan coming up…
A- Imtiaz Ali was always on my wish-list of directors and I am glad I am working with him so soon in my career. I’m very happy. It was fantastic working with Saif. He is brilliant yet he needs to be taken care of like a child. My character in the film, Meera, is a modern yet traditional girl. She is practical yet emotional in matters of the heart. I think youngsters will relate very well to the love story in the film.
Q- What about ‘Billu Barber’? You have competition from Priyanka and Kareena there…
A- I shot for three days for ‘Billu Barber’ shooting the song ‘Love Mera Hit Hit’. It actually brought back memories of Om Shanti Om for me. In fact even the caterer, Muthuswamy was the same. Farah and SRK are like family to me and I would do anything for them. And I really don’t see any competition from the other actresses.
Q- What are your plans for Valentine’s Day?
A- (Laughs) I am spending the day with my parents. As for Ranbir’s plans, you got to ask him!
