I don’t identify with my ‘Break Ke Baad’ character: Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone is very sensitive when it comes to relationships and so she couldn’t connect to her character in the forthcoming film “Break Ke Baad”. But the actress took the challenge because she wanted to do something different from her previous roles.

“I think the reason I chose to do the film is: one, I thought this is very different from the characters I played in my previous films. Also because the character is very different from the kind of person I am, especially her take on relationships,” Deepika, 24, told IANS in an interview.

“The way I think of a relationship is very, very different. Aaliya reacts without thinking; I am not like that. I am a little more sensitive; I think before I do something. Her professional side I connect with, but her personal side I don’t connect with.

“Aaliya is very, very focussed about her career. She wants to achieve a lot for herself. She wants to go to Australia and become an actress. She is independent and very ambitious and these are the characteristics that I identify with.

“But at the same time she is a girl who doesn’t believe in love, commitment, relationship and marriage. And she is also a little insensitive and immature and I don’t identify with these things,” said Deepika.

Directed by Danish Aslam and produced by Kunal Kohli, the film shows how the psyche of individuals act as villains in their love life. Deepika is paired with Imran Khan in this ‘hatke’ romantic film, which released Friday.

Deepika could never understand the concept of taking a break in a relationship.

“I never really understood the concept of a break. Two people in a relationship should try to make it work. Personally I never took a break in a relationship. I don’t know what it means,” said Deepika who recently broke up with her actor boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor.

Asked if not getting space in a relationship means being over-possessive, she said: “Not necessarily. After doing the film, I realised that when people say let’s take a break that means there are a lot of problems in a relationship, but at the same time you love each other so much that you don’t want let go completely either. So I think it’s a matter of convenience. On the one hand you want your freedom, but you also don’t let go of that person.”

The story of her 2009 release “Love Aaj Kal” was similar, but the actress doesn’t think “Break Ke Baad” has any resemblance to the former.

“People find a similarity because the space in both the films is similar. People also find it very similar because both of them are very real. ‘Love Aaj Kal’ was a very real film; so is ‘Break Ke Baad’.

“Every one would relate to the film because everyone has gone through it at some point in his or her life. The characters are completely different. It’s a love story, with a few light moments as well,” said Deepika.

Karisma, Sanjay headed for splitville!

All is not well in Karisma and Sanjay Kapur’s paradise. Their marital discord has been making news for quite a long time and now things are quite vivid that their marriage life is truly under serious threat. For quite a long time, Karisma is residing in Mumbai while Sanjay in Delhi. He hardly visits his wife in Mumbai and Karisma also does not visit or stays with Sanjay in Delhi.

In the friend’s circles, there is a hush-hush that Sanjay and Karisma headed for splitville and one of the reasons is Sanjay’s growing proximity with the ex-wife of a New York-based wealthy hotelier.

Sanjay is now very often spotted in the company of the divorce socialite in high profile parties. The way they mingle give a clear indication that they are more than just friends. Says a source, "They seem to have been throwing caution to the wind, of late."

Adds the source, "The two seemed to have found solace in each other as both have had their share of troubled marriages."

Sanjay was earlier married to fashion designer Nandita Mahtani but after getting divorced from Nandita, he married to Karisma in 2003.

Karisma had two children from Sanjay. After the birth of the second child, it was assumed that everything was fine between them and both settled their sour but in actuality things kept shoddier every moment.

Sunny is the most handsome sardar in the industry: Dharmendra

Sunny Deol with his Father

Yesteryears star Dharmendra, who has teamed up with his sons – Sunny and Bobby Deol – for the comedy “Yamla Pagla Deewana” – declares that his elder son is the most handsome onscreen Sardar in the industry.

Sunny plays an NRI Sikh in “Yamla Pagla Deewana”.

“I think my son (Sunny) is the most handsome Sardar in the whole industry. Whenever he has played it, he lived it. He looks the most handsome sardar on screen and I am proud of it,” Dharmendra told reporters Wednesday after shooting a robbery sequence for the film at Filmcity.

The official trailer of “Yamla Pagla Deewana” was leaked on YouTube and it has got overwhelming response. The film has references from hits like “Sholay”, “Gadar – Ek Prem Kahani”.

“There are always some punches in the films that is why the audiences like a movie. This film has dialogues, which would be loved by the audience. In fact, people have already started loving it,” said Dharmendra.

This is his second film with his sons after “Apne”.

“‘Apne’ was a very emotional film with sports at the backdrop. This is a full-fledged comedy with few fights and thrill and very good emotional punches. I think we can bring tears again in people’s eyes,” he added.

This year marks 50 years of Dharmendra in the film industry and he has decided to give one movie every year.

“I feel I am a 75-year-old boy, who has been given 50 years in the film industry. I love camera, I love to be in films more and more. I am still as energetic as I was. I would continue doing one film every year. It’s all audiences’ love that made me live young for 50 years, else it’s very difficult to sustain in this industry,” said Dharmendra.

Jane Fonda to marry fourth time

Veteran actress Jane Fonda is planning to tie the knot for the fourth time with music producer Richard Perry.

The Oscar winner, who underwent a surgery earlier this month after doctors discovered a small “non-invasive” tumour, is overwhelmed by Perry’s devotion to her during her health struggle and decided to exchange vows next year, reports contactmusic.com.

“Richard has been a rock. He stuck by her side through the whole ordeal and promised to take care of her, no matter how serious the situation turned out to be,” said a source.

“Seeing Richard step up to the plate made Jane realise he is truly the man for her… The cancer changed Jane’s priorities. He’s the man of her dreams, and Jane wants to be with him for the rest of her life,” the source added.

Fonda has been earlier married to late French director Roger Vadim, former politician Tom Hayden and media mogul Ted Turner.

Jennifer Aniston

Actress Jennifer Aniston wishes to star alongside Robert Pattinson in the remake of “The Graduate”.

The former “Friends” star is reportedly asking her agents to set up a meeting with the “Twilight” star.

“Jen’s a huge fan of ‘The Graduate’. It’s one of her favourite films and she would love to do a new version of it,” dailystar.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

The original 1967 film starred actor Dustin Hoffman as a college graduate who is seduced by an older woman, played by Anne Bancroft.

“Jen thinks she and Rob would be the perfect duo to recreate the highly sexual roles,” said an insider.

“This film would allow Jen to do something raunchy and sophisticated after all the romantic comedies she’s done and would give Rob the chance to move on to more grown-up roles after ‘Twilight’,” the insider said.

“Jen is very excited at the prospect of teaming up with Rob. She loves his brooding good looks and just adores his English accent. She thinks there is no one more perfect to cast opposite her,” the insider added.

Lady Gaga: Silk Undergarments Enhance Her Creativity!

The Lady Gaga fans must be often pondering over this singing sensation’s amazing creativity as she performs so powerfully and has something very exciting to offer each time she is on stage or her album comes out. What is the secret behind the creative talent of the American pop singer?

Does she practice meditation or is she taking any special lessons to boost her concentration level and enhance her creativity? Well, she is not doing anything of that sort. The secret lies in her under garments! Before you start speculating on this, let us clear the fact that it is her silk under garments, which boosts Lady Gaga’s creativity as she claims.

Lady Gaga is known for her unusual dressing sense but she is very specific about her inner wear. According to the 24-year-old singer, the feel of silk on her skin gives a soothing effect and that enriches her creativity. Polyester, cotton and Lycra are out of her closet now. Silk has replaced all of them and she has ordered for 100% pure silk garments.

Now onwards, you won’t see her wearing anything apart from silk. You may consider it to be a superstition too that she believes silk will boost her creativity. But this is quite practical too, because creativity comes out at its best when a person is very comfortable with her attire. If she is feeling comfortable with silk then it will definitely allow her to concentrate more on her music.

Lady Gaga has ordered for a silky collection for her entire underwear section of wardrobe. A pair of this costs around £70 so it is surely going to take a big dig for her entire collection.
