Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor was once a couple. They often hanged out together and even shared a sizzling chemistry in ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ but their romance was short lived and both split-up. Though personally they are no more together, professionally Deepika Padukone wanted to continue with Ranbir Kapoor and she said that she has no issue working with him as Ranbir is truly professional and has immense talent in acting.

Rubbishing the rumor of not willing to act together again, Deepika said, “Completely untrue. I would love to work with Ranbir. And Ranbir is a professional too. These are mere rumours and shouldn’t be entertained.”

Asking the question as why she has not signed any film opposite him, the OSO actress quips, “Ranbir and I have decided that till such time we aren’t offered a script that inspires us, we won’t work together. I am keen to work with him. So is he. We looked great in BACHNA AE HASEENO.”

After a sweeping performance in “Delhi-6″, Divya Dutta does not want to be straitjacketed in any image and wants to look different and refreshing in every film.

“I have laid a very basic ground rule for myself. I should be a favourite with the audience, they should love me, my role, my acting, appreciate my talent. I don’t want to repeat any of my roles, ever,” Divya told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

After her rough looks in “Delhi-6″, Divya will now be seen in traditional attire. Splashes of colours cover her from head to toe as she sports a Kashmiri look for her latest film, “Sukhmani – Hope for Life”, which released last Friday.

“I play a Kashmiri girl who is quiet by nature, a very intense women who walks with head high and grace,” she said.

“Sukhmani…” is a film that shows both good and evil sides of people, Divya says. “When faced with exceptional circumstances, people react differently. It shows that sometimes we have to make choices that are not always accepted by society.”
