I will be around for long: Deepika Padukone


Her debut movie "Om Shanti Om" has been a success but latest Bollywood sensation Deepika Padukone attributes it mostly to her co-star Shahrukh Khan.The model-turned actress, who plays a established girl in the movie, is humble in her success and believes she has a long way to go in the tinsel world. "When you start working in a movie, you never think that it's going to be a superhit. You just enjoy working," she said while referring to "Om Shanti Om" which was released last week and has been quite a triumph at the box office. At the same time, she gives "a lot" of credit to her co-star Shahrukh Khan, who plays an actor in the film which is based on the theme of re-incarnation. As "Om Shanti Om" was released along with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's romantic flick "Saawariya", film critics had foretell a tough competition. It, however, proved wrong as "Om Shanti Om" clearly scored over "Saawariya". Talk about the concept of rebirth or reincarnation to Deepika and she says she has no opinion on it. "I have never given re-incarnation a thought actually," said the daughter of legendary badminton player Prakash Padukone. Deepika confess to have learnt many a tip from the film legends of yesteryears - Hema Malini and Helen - to help her play the character of a traditional girl of 70s in her debut film. "I have seen a couple of movie theater of 70s, specially of Hema Malini and Helen and that's where the inspiration came from," she said. - economictimes
