A period film, ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey’ is based on Manini Chatterjee’s book ‘Do And Die’ and focuses on the 1930s Chittagong Uprising. Ashutosh Gowariker in a news daily report said, “Deepika plays Kalpana Datta, one of my favourite characters in the movie. It showcases the grit and determination of the women of that time, when they were not allowed to participate in the freedom movement. But she braved the odds and took the gun in her hands to fight for the country.”

“However, while performing some high action stunts in ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey’, Deepika’s struggled to maintain her balance in a saree. A source said, “Deepika was required to do some action scenes in the film. But the saree was causing a lot of problems. Every time she took the gun to shoot, or run, the saree would come in the way. It was quite a funny situation and initially some retakes were required. But by the end, Deepika learnt how to handle the saree like a pro.”

On her new avatar, Neeta Lulla said, “We did our research for the character and accordingly draped her in the Bengali traditional manner. It is a single pallu drape, twice over the shoulder. When she was doing her action sequence, like any other normal saree, we tucked it around her waist.”

After their disastrous exit at the T20 World Cup, Dhoni blamed all their late night parties for the team’s loss.

To this statement, Dhoni’s ex-lover, Deepika Padukone reacted very harshly.

Deepika told, “If you are playing late night matches and then enjoys late night parties, it definitely takes a toll on your body.

But it is your responsibility to justify your selection in Indian team by giving importance to cricket over night parties. You need to learn to do little sacrifices for the country”.

The headlines screams, ‘Coming of age.’ Deepika said, “I have been lucky that I haven’t been slaughtered very often. My style really hasn’t been affected simply because I don’t want to give any importance to journalists who don’t understand fashion and don’t really dress well themselves.” Talking about her style, Deepika says, “My style has been pretty basic, but, it is evolving and I am experimenting with new silhouettes. Overall, though, I just believe in being well-turned-out at all times.”

What could have made this happen? Its non other than director Anurag Basu’s flick “Khamoshi”. Ever since Katrina walked out of the film over the inclusion of Priyanka Chopra, Basu has been hunting for the second female lead. After a grueling hunt Basu approached Deepika.

Sources said, “Anurag has approached Deepika. However, she still needs to take the final call. Ranbir plays the lead role and after their bitter break-up last year, they have not spoken to each other. However, when Deepika got the offer, she was not surprised and is looking at the film professionally. She doesn’t want her personal equations to come in the way. Deepika will now have a final meeting before taking a call.”

Deepika told him that it wont be an easy task, since she was quite heavy despite her slender frame. Everytime Khan had to lift her, Deepika would laugh her guts out !

Director Kohli finally set matter right and Khan lifted Dippy… one, two, three times.. and more! The secret: Aamir’s relative had been training at the gym reallyy hard for a good two days before he showed up to accomplish the said scene. Fitting idea, Khan.
