Deepika Padukone recently made her much-awaited debut on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’. Dressed in a white dress and minimal makeup, Deepika looked like a million bucks.
When Ellen asked Deepika how she managed to bag a role opposite Vin Diesel, Deepika said, “I actually auditioned for ‘Furious 7’ about two or three years ago and for whatever reason, that didn’t work out. I think people remember me for that audition. Everyone talks about that chemistry and people remember me from that and then, about a year ago, I get a call from Paramount saying that they are casting for this film and I flew down and met DJ, my director Caruso, and then Vin found out in Los Angeles that I was in Toronto. So overnight, luckily I had a visa, and he said, ‘I want her to come and see me.'”
She further said, “Overnight, I flew down from Toronto to Los Angeles to see Vin and suddenly in the middle of the night, we are doing this forty-five-minute photoshoot. Professional, with lights, with this and that. I was like what is going on! Because I didn’t know if I got the part, I still don’t know if I got the part. He just… we got into this really serious photo-shoot. I don’t know if you guys have seen the picture, and that was it."
Deepika even said that she had no idea that she had got the part until Vin shared a picture of them together on social media, “He just put it up and I said, I hope you know that if you put up that means I’m doing this movie. He still didn’t say anything. He just put it up."
Talking about the sizzling chemistry between Vin and Deepika Ellen asked, “There is a romance going on, that’s what you would get from that as well, look at that face! Does that mean there is?"
To this Dippy said, “Well, there is no smoke without fire! But, it’s all in my head! So yeah, I mean in my head I think, we are together and we have this amazing chemistry, and we live together and we have these amazing babies! But it’s all in my head."
Interesting isn’t it?
