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.

Clad in a flattering scarlet lace Gaurav Gupta gown at the recent event, Deepika managed to make several heads turn with her mermaid-cut outfit, without coming off as an overkill of red! Dressed to kill and beautiful as ever, Deepika rushed to greet and seek the blessings of veteran actor and Bollywood bigwig Amitabh Bachchan who also made an appearance at the event.

Directed by Prakash Jha, the film is a socio-political drama based on the controversial policy of caste based reservations. Apart from being Amitabh's big fan, Deepika is glad that she got the opportunity to don the role of his daughter. Talking about her experience with Mr. Bachchan, Deepika stated, "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 was very touched with the presence of Amitabh & Jaya Bachchan at her house warming party. She considers herself very fortunate to have been given the chance to work with Mr. Bachchan. Talking about her experience she further elaborated saying, "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. 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.
