Deepika Padukone sexy, not a seductress?

Even as Deepika Padukone gears up for the release of Race 2, the actress is also looking forward to her next shooting schedule of Ayan Mukherjee’s film. And Deepika is excited that Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani will be shot in Kashmir. Deepika says, “I have never shot in Kashmir before. I have heard so much about the place and seen its beauty only through Bollywood films. I am really looking forward to filming in the Valley. It is my first visit. It’s great that our filmmakers are rediscovering Kashmir.”

The Bolly hottie admits that shooting back-to-back for Race 2, Ram Leela, Chennai Express and Ayan’s film, that also stars Ranbir Kapoor, does get hectic at times. “But all my roles are so different from each other that it’s really interesting to be busy with work,” adds Deepika, who has her hands full this year. The actress, however, reveals that it is hard to pick and choose any one film that’s closer to her heart. “More than the box-office records or business figures of the film, it is the experience of shooting that I cherish,” she says.

Point out that her upcoming release sees her play a sexy seductress and Deepika quips that it was not easy to play a character like that. “I am nothing like the character. So it was exciting and challenging at the same time.” But doesn’t she relate easily to being sexy? “I don’t believe in being in-your-face sexy. It is more of an attitude and not about clothes. But the film took it a step further and called for the character to be a sexy seductress. The entire body language had to spell it out. And as I said earlier, it’s nothing like the real me. I may be sexy, but I’m no seductress...,” laughs Deepika.
