Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika worked under Farah Khan's direction for Om Shanti Om, and the team has joined hands again for the forthcoming film Happy New Year. In the period spanning seven years, Deepika has established herself as one of the reigning beauties in Bollywood -- and Shah Rukh feels the success is "all hers".
"I have nothing to do with her (Deepika's) success. It's all hers. You can't take credit away from someone," Shah Rukh told reporters in an interview.
Citing his own example, he said that when he worked on his debut film Deewana, veteran actors like Rishi Kapoor and Amrish Puri were very nice and kind to him.
"I must have made mistakes, I must have been good and bad," Shah Rukh said as he mulled over his own journey.
But then talking of Deepika, he said "I think Deepika was always a star. Since she was new, we did the Aankhon Mein Teri song and we showed it to Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan). He said, 'She is a very huge star'. She was a supermodel at that time, so it's not something we (Farah and I) have done.
"I haven't worked with her for seven years, but I think she has it all. As a friend, I told her that 'Always do a film where you feel comfortable with the people around'. She has made wonderful choices -- whether it's Cocktail or Finding Fanny.
"She has chosen some highly commercial films too; she has made the right choices," he said.
Rumour has it that Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kapoor are going to take their relationship status from 'everyone, pretend we're not dating' to 'married.' The wedding will be held in February, says this report. We can't confirm the wedding rumour but it's true that Ranbir and Kat have been less unwilling to den a romance lately.
Though the super secretive couple have been discreet about their relationship on most occasions, they almost said it all when:
In a recent interview, Katrina Kaif finally admitted that Ranbir Kapoor is "a huge part of (her) life." This admission of sorts is probably the closest the very secretive actress will come to acknowledging a relationship that everyone knows exists but pretends to feign ignorance of.
Ranbir and Katrina arrived in the same car - rather than separately - at director Karan Johar's residence, for once dispensing with their habitual caution and laying rest to a lot of speculation about their relationship status.
Ibiza might have been their most talked-about holiday, however not the only one. On Kat's birthday, the lovebirds romanced on a French island. She even flew to Sri Lanka to spend time with her alleged boyfriend. Not to forget Christmas and New Year's Eve in New York. Much ado about nothing? You decide.
"Are you in love with Katrina?" cousin Kareena asked Ranbir on Koffee With Karan. "I love Kareena," he replied shyly. To which indiscreet Bebo responded - "Just add a T to it." And that's not all. When asked to pick a partner for a gay encounter at gunpoint, Kareena's reply gave away the truth. "I'd be more comfortable with my sister-in-law so I'll say Katrina Kaif," she said.
