Deepika denies taking potshots
The show Koffee with Karan is building up a reputation for making its guests mouth some pretty sharp remarks. Recently, when the normally diplomatic Deepika Padukone came on the show alongside Sonam Kapoor, she made a pithy comment about wanting to see “Katrina’s passport.”
When we asked Deepika about the same she tried to laugh off her comment. “I said this during the rapid fire round on the show; and everyone knows how the round is — you have to be funny and witty. If I had tried to be politically correct, then it would have been very boring. I was being very tongue-in-cheek. ”
Deepika added, “The hamper had an iPad and a phone which I desperately wanted, so I had to be witty. But both Sonam and I were so good that Karan couldn’t decided who the hamper should go to, so we both got it.”
The actress certainly seems to have developed a sense of humour where her arch rival and co-guest on the show, Sonam is concerned. Deepika clarifies, “I never had any problem with her. It is just that we don’t meet that often or talk very often — and this is portrayed in the media as us not getting along. She is busy in her work and so am I.”
But don’t expect Deepika and Sonam to hang out together. Says Deepika, “Forget getting a chance to meet people with whom I haven’t worked, I don’t get a chance to meet even the people whom I have worked with.”
