Dressed in a stunning black and gold Anarkali salwar suit, she managed to turn a few heads during the celebration. Big B's birthday bash saw faces like Yash Chopra, Karan Johar, Vinod Khanna, Hema Malini, Jeetendra, Prem Chopra, Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor with wife Neetu Kapoor and many more from the film fraternity was seen gracing the event.
Deepika Padukone has always had good things to say about the Bachchan family. She considers herself lucky to have been given the chance to debut beside the living legend, Amitabh Bachchan. Speaking about her role, she said, "Once you play father and daughter in a film (as they did in Aarakshan), you always share a bond for life. I remember the first guests at my new flat were Jayaji and Amitji. Jayaji spoke to me about my film and told me that I reminded her of her daughter."
Deepika is certainly overwhelmed with the cordiality that she received from the Bachchans when they attended her house-warming party. Deepika considers herself to be fortunate to get an opportunity to work with the one of the finest actors of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan. Deepika also said, "He (Amitabh Bachchan) made me very, very comfortable. However, even as the camera is rolling and you are mouthing your dialogues, you are constantly wondering if he is judging your performance.
Really, it is indeed a big deal to be actually looking into his eyes and mouthing your dialogues. Trust me, it isn't easy." Though nervous about sharing screen-space alongside Mr. Bachchan, Deepika Padukone managed to pull off her role in the film extremely well. The two actors have been known to share a special bond ever since the film. Directed by Prakash Jha, the film had Amitabh Bachchan play Dr. Prabhakar Anand while Deepika Padukone starred as his daughter, Poorbi.
