All those linkups of Deepika Padukone with Dhoni and Yuvraj have been pretty confusing!
Naomi: You are 21 years old and much in the public eye. How are you taking the fact that you are being written about every other day?
Deepika: I think being written about positively and negetively is all a part of the profession i’ve chosen to be in and I like reading about the nice things written about me. I try and collect them as well.
Naomi: But how does your family react to it, because there is so much written about you, your presence at the T20 matches, whom you have coffee with etc?
Deepika: I believe if you are a celebrity, anything that you do will be written about. Tomorrow if i buy a new car, that will be written about, if i decide to get married that will be written about. That is the life of a celebrity! We choose to be public figures and its all a part of that.
Naomi: Ok. But how do you react to the link ups with Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh?
Deepika: Very honestly, I am fond of all of them. Being from a sports family I support sports whether it is cricket or badminton or Hocky or any other sport. I think our team is doing a fantastic job.
Naomi: And are they friends of yours?
Deepika: To an extent. I am working and travelling, they are working and travelling so whenever we get time we meet.
Naomi: Deepika have you modelled yourself on anyone? Because people keep talking about you having modelled yourself after Aishwaria Rai. Would she be your benchmark?
Deepika: No, she wouldn’t be my benchmark, but she is someone I look up to. She is someone who i’ve grown up watching and I think she has handelled her career and her personal life very well. So whatever comparisions between us are most welcome.
Naomi: She is always politically correct. I think you’ve reached there. You are almost sure of not giving me complete information.
Deepika: I take that as a compliment.
Naomi: It is a compliment, Deepika thank you very much for talking to us.
Deepika: Thanks!
