Deepika Padukone, Kalki Koechlin the new BFFs?

Actors Deepika Padukone and Kalki Koechlin seem to be the new BFFs in B-Town. Buzz is that the two struck up a friendship while working together for Ayan Mukherjee’s film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani alongwith actor Ranbir Kapoor. The three actors who were almost on a month-long schedule for the film in Manali are currently shooting in Udaipur and have been bonding with each other.

According to sources, the trio got along rather well from day one and share an easy camraderie. “Deepika, Ranbir and Kalki bonded really well as they had many common interests.  There were no ego hassles or any discomfort, which often is the case when two actresses shoot together,” says an on set source. “They almost formed a mutual admiration society as they talked about each other’s work. Deepika and Ranbir go back a long way and so do Ranbir and Ayan, as they have worked together in the past, but Kalki didn’t feel like an outsider at all and they bonded over not only their films, but also her hubby Anurag’s (filmmaker Anurag Kashyap) films,” adds the source.

“Even when Ranbir wasn’t around, Deepika and Kalki would indulge in a lot of girlie banter, and even made some impromptu shopping trips in the city,” said an insider.

The three, who have been shooting round-the-clock for over a month now didn’t miss home much, thanks to each other’s company. “Luckily they all got along well so they didn’t miss home all that much. Otherwise being on outdoor schedules is not very easy for such long periods of time. But with Ayan, the three had a great time,” adds the source.
