Deepika Padukone & Amitabh Bachchan share a special bond

By Laila Rao


Deepika Padukone, who started off as a model, has established herself as one of the premier actors in Bollywood. Her last movie, Cocktail, made a new star out of the already famous Ms. Padukone. The gorgeous long legged beauty was in the news following her stunning appearance at the GQ Men of the Year Awards. Humble as she always has been, she rushed to meet Big B at the award ceremony to greet him. Looking breathtaking in a gorgeous red gown, she was spotted having a candid conversation with Amitabh Bachchan during the event.

Recently, she was also spotted attending Big B's 70th birthday bash wearing a black ethnic anarkali and a traditional bindi, perfecting the traditional Indian look. Deepika is known to have a great sense of fashion and has always put her best foot forward with utmost oomph and grace. Big B's birthday bash saw some significant dignitaries from the film fraternity; including the Kapoor family and faces like Vinod Khanna, Jeetendra, Yash Chopra, Karan Johar, Shahrukh Khan with wife Gauri, Farhan Akhtar, Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi. The event was also graced by business giants - the Ambanis. The night was a star studded one as everyone dropped by to wish Amitabh Bachchan a happy birthday and join the celebration. Deepika's first movie with Big B was Aarakshan, where she played his daughter.

Deepika Padukone has always had good things to say about the Bachchan family. She considers herself lucky to have been given the chance to debut beside the living legend, Amitabh Bachchan. Speaking about her role, she said, "Once you play father and daughter in a film (as they did in Aarakshan), you always share a bond for life. I remember the first guests at my new flat were Jayaji and Amitji. Jayaji spoke to me about my film and told me that I reminded her of her daughter."

Deepika is certainly overwhelmed with the cordiality that she received from the Bachchans when they attended her house-warming party. Deepika considers herself to be fortunate to get an opportunity to work with the one of the finest actors of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan. Deepika also said, "He (Amitabh Bachchan) made me very, very comfortable. However, even as the camera is rolling and you are mouthing your dialogues, you are constantly wondering if he is judging your performance.

However, even as the camera is rolling and you are mouthing your dialogues, you are constantly wondering if he is judging your performance. Really, it is indeed a big deal to be actually looking into his eyes and mouthing your dialogues. Trust me, it isn't easy." The two actors hold high regards for each other after sharing screen space in Prakash Jha's film.
