I have a good equation with Ranbir Kapoor: Deepika Padukone

Over the past few days there has been a lot of speculation in Bollywood over whether Deepika Padukone will ever star with Ranbir Kapoor in a movie post their break-up.

The speculations began when Deepika was not seen in a recent soft drink commercial that had Ranbir. The earlier commercials of the same soft drink brand had both Deepika and Ranbir. However, Deepika put all speculation to rest by suggesting that it she is open to working with Ranbir.

“Just because we haven’t done a commercial together doesn’t mean that we are never going to do a movie together. I still have a contract with the soft drink brand for four months and have shot a new campaign with them. Earlier too, when I was doing the ad with him, Ranbir was paired with another girl. So, I have not been replaced by anyone. The brand decides whom to take for their commercials, so there is nothing to read between the lines,” Deepika says.

She adds, “Ranbir and I know where we stand today. We will never let good movies slip out of our hands. It’s just a matter of time that I act with him. We need the right movie to act together and it will happen. I have a good equation with Ranbir.”

Talking about movies, Deepika has a very diverse year ahead in terms of the projects she has taken up. Currently, she is learning Bengali for Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey.  “I mouth a lot of Bengali dialogues in the movie. Apart from speaking in Bengali, I will wear sarees like a Bengali woman. I will sport puff sleeve blouses,” she says.

But she is quite disturbed about reports of her constant link-ups. “It takes a lot for a woman to go out on a date with a man. When I sit and watch a match with someone, people say I am dating him. If I go for dinner with someone else, people say I’m dating that person. I have a family who read all this and for a girl these reports of randomly becoming someone’s girlfriend one day and someone else’s the next day don’t go well,” she ends.
