Deepika Padukone - An Asian Woman of Today

Looking absolutely perfect in a low-cut gold minidress with brown hoops and more than a little attitude, Deepika Padukone looks ready to face the world once again on the cover of Asian Woman magazine. Inside, the Housefull actress talks about the trials and tribulations of being an actress in the public eye and constantly having to endure rumours made up about her.

Talking of Deeps rumours, it’s said that Ranbir Kapoor, currently filming Anjaana Anjaani with Priyanka Chopra, is hoping for a reunion with Deepika. He is said to have been influenced by his parents towards breaking off with her and is now regretting it. When asked on set if he was hoping to make up with her, he is said to have replied forlornly, “I hope so.”

Deepika, meanwhile, will soon begin filming Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khele Hum Jeejaan Se with Abhishek Bachchan, in which she plays freedom fighter Kalpana Dutta, an inspirational figure in the Chittagong Uprising, and she is looking forward to the release of Karthik Calling Karthik early next year.
