Deepika: Only script matters

She stands tall, so tall that she looks down into her eyes of her hero. Her enigmatic, dimpled smile can melt any man. Deepika Padukone down the line has created a space for herself in the B world, sharing stage with all the bigwig heroes of her age and taking in account, older actors too. She grew up on movies by the ever-dominating Khan heroes’ clan and turned to movies after establishing herself in the glamorous modelling industry.
Deepika is excitedly waiting for her next release, ‘Love Aaj Kal’, where she is romancing other popular Khan, Saif. Going by last movies, most of her heroes are double her age but Deepika doesn’t seem concerned about that. It doesn’t matter her for she is only concerned about the script and says, “I don’t sign a film looking at the hero’s age. The script of the movie has to turn me on.”
Meanwhile the gorgeous slim beauty is gearing up for her next venture, ‘Houseful in London’, which she says to be her “first full-on comedy film”.

Akshay transitions from Katrina to Deepika

What makes Akki – the leading star of Bollywood? Naturally, his insatiable passion for acting shores him on best grounds. Indeed, he's one fine performer signing projects after heeding to scripts without a frame missed out. On the pars, the actor is keen on his leading ladies pairing up with him.
Glimpse through his flicks of the past, there goes a big history he made with actresses Shilpa Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Priyanka Chopra and recently with Katrina Kaif. The Akki-Kaif duo swayed continuously with 'Humko Deewana Kar Gaya', 'Namastey London', 'Welcome' and 'Singh is King'.
Well, it's time for Akki to change his on-screen girl and looks like Deepika has turned to be his on-screen ducky. Much before their 'Chandni Chowk to China' would hit the screens, they have signed for yet another flick 'Houseful' directed by Sajid Khan. Also talks are on the verge with a big production house churning out 'Come on Pappu'. David Dhawan's son Rohit Dhawan wields megaphone for this flick. Meanwhile Akshay and Katrina would be seen together in 'De Dhana Dhan' slated to hit screens in late 2009.

Bebo's squabble with Priyanka, Bips, Deepika, Katrina

Oh! What's fudging between Bebo and red-hot missies of Bollywood? There aren't such big issues over them. Well, Kareena Kapoor backed off from performing at Grand Fiesta of Screen Film Awards. There happens to be a special feature titled 'Five Divas Special' where Kareena was supposed to shake her legs with Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu and Priyanka ChopraEarlier, Kareena had agreed to take part in the awards ceremony having demanded with big-payment. But later as she got to hear about other missies dancing with her, the actress had no options other than stepping out.
One of the closer sources revealed that Kareena felt Deepika is a newcomer while Katrina Kaif isn't up to her level. Dancing with them would undoubtedly put her in their box-status. That happens to be her fine rigid reason for backing off. Apart from this, we get hear from another source, 'Sister Karisma had advised her not to take part in stage performance and preferably Kareena should've considered this.'
