“Godfather means someone who you really are fond of. You want the kids to kind of look up to you and, kind of, mentor the kids,” Ranbir said at an event held to promote ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”.

The two not only enjoy each other’s company but also look quite comfortable with each other after parting ways.

“I don’t know whether I will have my own kids or not but she (Deepika Padukone) will definitely have. So I would love to be her children’s godfather, but I don’t know whether she or her husband will allow me but it will be nice to mentor her children,” Ranbir said

It’ is after five years that Ranbir and Deepika will be seen together on screen. They last featured together in “Bachna Ae Haseeno”.

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the movie, which stars Deepika and her former beau Ranbir Kapoor, is produced by Dharma Productions.

A TV commercial highlighting the association between Parachute Advansed Tender Coconut Hair Oil and the movie was unveiled at an event here. Winners of a contest organised by the hair product company got a chance to meet Ranbir and Deepika.

The contest required people to share their ‘Tender Love and Care’ moments, and the best ones were handpicked by Deepika herself, said a statement.

“I am happy to have met the winners of the contest and feel privileged that they shared their tender love and care moments with us. Both Parachute Advansed Tender Coconut Hair Oil and ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ hold a very special place in my heart,” Deepika said.

“Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”, releasing May 31, also stars Kalki Koechlin and Sidharth Roy Kapoor.

Now, she will be seen in a Konkani-English short film, which is being directed by Homi Adajania. The two had previously worked together on Cocktail, which was received well at the box-office! The film is titled “Finding Fanny” and is set in Goa. Deepika decided to take up the project when Homi was casually telling her about his plans and Homi was more than glad to oblige! “Homi narrated the story to me, while we were shooting for Cocktail, with no intention of casting me in the film. He was simply talking about an idea. I told him that I want to be part of it. He was surprised, because it’s not a regular feature film,” said Deepika, who will be seen with Ishaqzaade star Arjun Kapoor.

But, wouldn’t it be odd for Deepika Padukone to do a short film? She explains, “I agreed to do it for two reasons — my faith in Homi as a director, and the fact that I found the script exciting. I don’t like using the word offbeat, but it’s different from whatever I’ve done before in my career. Homi has wanted to make this film for a long time, and I’m happy he’s finally put it together.” The film is being produced by Saif Ali Khan’s Illuminati Films.

More than Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, we’re looking forward to to see Deepika Padukone in a Konkani film!

Parachute Advansed Tender Coconut Hair Oil today announced its association with one of the most awaited movies of the year – Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Embarking on a journey that celebrates the moments of Tender Love and Care (TLC) in our lives, both Parachute Advansed Tender Coconut Hair Oil and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani bring everyone together to spread the TLC even further.

Deepika shared that the entire cast & crew experienced Ranbir’s tender love & care when he treated everyone to a popular restaurant in Manali – Johnson’s Café. Ranbir felt this was necessary since shooting in Manali under extreme climatic conditions had them all longing for a much needed break.

At the event, Deepika and Ranbir felicitated the winners of the nationwide ‘Tender Love & Care’ online contest by Parachute Advansed Tender Coconut Hair Oil. The contest entailed people sharing their ‘Tender Love & Care’ moments and the best ones were handpicked by Deepika herself. The winners were thrilled to meet the Bollywood stars who crowned them as their favorite ‘TLC Queens’.

Rubbishing the rumours, Deepika Padukone said, “That’s not true at all. Shah Rukh is the most encouraging person I have worked with. He is extremely proud of me and my achievements and he would never do something like that.” While the whole cast of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is busy with the film’s promotion and a global tour, Deepika wasn’t present at any promotional event so far.

Deepika Padukone had made her Bollywood debut opposite Shahrukh Khan, in Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om. Speaking about it, she said, “Today, I am lot more confident and lot more comfortable around him. In the first film, I was just too shocked and too surprised about the fact that I have even got such a debut.”

Describing the experience of working with the King Khan, Deepika said, “He is definitely a friend. He has always been someone who I can rely on, or call on, at any point in the daytime or whatever. He is just somebody to talk to and he has been that person for me in Chennai Express as well.”

We hope this friendship reflects on screen, when Chennai Express is released in August!

While Salman Khan was busy shooting for his film Mental in South Goa, Shahrukh Khan was shooting for his film Chennai Express in North Goa. Previously, either of them used to walk out of an event when the other walked in. Thankfully, they didn’t have a problem being in the same state!

We’ve learned that Salman bhai has wrapped up his shoot as per schedule and is back in Mumbai now while SRK is continuing his shoot with Deepika Padukone. One can only imagine what would have happened had they run into each other! Given Sallu bhai’s clout and temper, should we call this as a narrow escape for SRK?

Ranbir Kapoor & Deepika Padukone recently attended a Close Up event in association with their upcoming film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. The couple look so gorgeous together, as they posed for the media.

Since this is their comeback film post break up, the media was curious to know what it was like for them to shoot the kissing scene given that they’re no longer dating each other. Deepika put it pretty nicely,

“We are comfortable with each other whether it’s an intimate scene, romantic scene, angry scene or action scene. The fact remains that we are comfortable working with each other and that’s why we signed the film,” says Deepika.

Having worked together in the forthcoming “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”, Ranbir says it wasn’t a new beginning for them, but a continuation of their friendship.

“I think our friendship began long back. So there is no beginning. There is a continuation. For ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, people are saying, ‘How can he (I) work with someone like Deepika, with whom he (I’ve earlier) had a relationship?’

“These are things which come very naturally to me,” the actor told reporters at a promotional press conference for the movie here Friday.

Deepika also vouched for their friendship, and she compared it with wine..

“Our friendship only gets better with age. We have been friends for very long time,” said the model-turned-actress.

Deepika made her Bollywood debut in 2007 opposite Shah Rukh Khan in “Om Shanti Om”, Ranbir forayed into showbiz in the same year with “Saawariya”.

“Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”, releasing May 31, is directed by Ayan Mukerji.

Ayan Mukerji-directed “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani” has brought the real life ex-couple together on the screen after five years – their first and the last film together was 2008 movie “Bachna Ae Haseeno”.

“I always expected from Deepika to reach very high levels, but I had no idea that she will become such a fine actress so soon. She is the first actress in front of whom I am a bit intimidated,” said Ranbir, who himself has wowed people with variety in roles he played in films “Wake Up Sid”, “Raajneeti”, “Rockstar” and “Barfi!”.

Talking about her growth in the industry, Ranbir said: “I felt like she was not doing what I expected her to do. That constant surprise was a good feeling. I know her so well. I know her advantages as well as disadvantages. She has turned her disadvantages into advantages. So, I am very happy for her.”

Most celebrities are hounded by rumours and Ranbir accepts it as part of an actor’s life.

“I can understand there is a demand for this. People want to know about their favourite actors and actresses – What they do? Who they can marry or not?

“But when it comes to you, you feel bad. But you have to focus on your work. Because when on Friday, your film releases, everyone forgets everything. It is part and parcel of the journey. You have to take it with a pinch of salt,” said the 30-year-old.

“We are curious… but we are all friends. We don’t sit and bitch or gossip,” he said and explained that “cold war” don’t exist.

“I don’t think there is any cold war. I am fond of all the actors of my generation – be it Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor, Imran Khan, Varun Dhawan – all of us are busy with our work, we don’t really meet much. But we try and catch up at award functions and parties,” he said.

He admits there is competition, but a friendly one.

“There is a friendly, healthy competitive vibe going on. No one wants the other person to not do well. We get happy and jealous when we see a good performance, but we all congratulate each other and encourage each other. I guess it is too early in our careers to have this competition,” Ranbir said.
