I think one of the most asked question at every interview I go to, is, “How did I choose Deepika Padukone for ‘Om Shanti Om’, considering she was a rank newcomer?”
My answer to that has always been :That there was an innate dignity and poise that I saw in her, that I haven’t seen in too many girls that age.13 years later, these 2 very qualities, remain intact. Through good times and the bad…through it all! Qualities I often wish I had.
We also often speak about her evolution as an actor and her craft, but what I truly admire about her, is how she has managed to keep her head above it all!
I love her, I am proud of her and she will always be my baby…

Exotic island, youthful abandon, far far away, Ved and Tara – a story begins.
Ved has grown up among stories. As a kid in Simla, he would collect money, even steal money so that the old storyteller would tell him stories. Ramayan, Helen of Troy, Laila Majnu, Heer Ranjha, Aladdin, Romeo Juliet. The storyteller would also say that all stories are the same.
Ved wants his story with Tara to be different. So, they decide not to call each other who they are, to only lie about themselves and after returning from the island to never meet each other again.
But they do meet again.
The question is whether they will be able to shape their story in the way they want. Will the muse be able to make an artist of a common man, will Ved be able to break the shackles of ordinary existence, escape the corporate rat-race and become the way Tara sees him – the exuberant story-teller?
Corsica, Simla, Delhi, Calcutta, Japan – all the world is a stage – as the drama of Ved and Tara unfolds. Frolic, rage, quirk, laughter. Defeat, victory. Tamasha.

1930, British India: In the province of undivided Bengal lies the sleepy, peaceful port of Chittagong. In this unassuming little town a revolution is about to begin; a revolution which will forever wake all of Chittagong and inspire the entire nation. April 18. 1 night. 5 simultaneous attacks. A band of 64-56 innocent yet fearless young boys, 5 defiant revolutionaries, 2 determined young women, and an idealistic leader Surjya Sen, a school teacher by profession.
This group of 64 represents a little known chapter in history; a forgotten night that reigned terror on the British through a series of calculated attacks. Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is a true story of these forgotten heroes and the narrative takes us through every step of action from the initial trepidation, to the thrill of the attack, to the underground movement, daring escapes and tragic captures and most importantly, their undying legacy.
Childhood friends Aaliya (Deepika Padukone) and Abhay (Imran Khan) experience plenty of obstacles in their paths as they find their way in the world and back to each other.
A dash of style with loads of attitude and a hunger to reach the stars, Lafangey Parindey is about a group of youngsters living in the backstreets of Mumbai. It is an unusal story of Nandu (Neil Nitin Mukesh) and Pinky (Deepika Padukone) whose path to love is paved by friendship, grit and hope.
He is wild. He is born to fight. He is One-Shot Nandu. For the raw, champion street fighter, one-shot is literally what it takes. Absolutely wild, fierce and hungry to win, this fighter takes boxing to a new level by knocking down his opponents – BLINDFOLDED. Needless to say, One-Shot lives life on his own terms and is a local hero amongst his friends. But all that soon changes, when he meets Pinky Palkar.
She is blind. She is born to fly. She is Pinky Palkar. A unique girl, a powerhouse of talent! On one hand she works at a regular, boring 9-to-5 job at a mall but on the other hand, she is a kickass dancer on skates! Strong headed, talented and fiercely ambitious – these traits make up Pinky Palkar’s deadly personality. Her life’s ambition is only one – to rise above all the ‘losers’ living in her locality and carve a niche for herself. She will use her talent to show the others that she can win in life. There is only one tiny obstacle… She is blind.
Set in the grungy streets of Mumbai, Lafangey Parindey is an unusual, edgy love story about the never say die spirit even when your last chip is down. It is an intriguing journey of a blindfolded street fighter and a blind dancer who, along with four friends, set out to achieve the impossible.

Love Aaj
London, San Francisco, Delhi – 2009
Jai and Meera is a modern-day couple in London. They are very happy together but do not believe in tying each other down. So, when life pulls them in different directions, they decide to go with the flow.
“These Heer-Ranjha, Romeo-Juliet type janam janam ka sath type couples exist only in story books” Jai says. “In the real life, we have to be practical”.
Love Kal
Delhi, Calcutta – 1965
Veer Singh is struck by the thunderbolt when he sees Harleen for the first time. Soon after, he stands under a tree and swears that “iss janam mein aur har janam mein… yeh meri votti banegi”. He travels a thousand kilometres by train to stand under her balcony only to have a glimpse of her face and yet not speak a word with her.
Love Aaj Kal
Veer does not understand how Jai can treat matters of the heart without passion like a financial transaction. Jai does not understand how Veer Singh could have been so naïve and silly about Harleen in the days of his youth. But as both stories unfold, we realise that the process of relationships might be different in different eras, but the experience of being in love remains the same. So theres a frolic and despair of modern living, the liberation and complulsion. And there is distance, and fondness that increases ith distance, gaps widen between two people but bridges keep growing too.
Our protagonist Sidhu (Akshay Kumar) is the lowest on the totem pole, cutting vegetables at a road side food stall in Chandini Chowk, delhi. He longs to escape his dreary existence and looks for shortcuts with astrologers, taro readers, and fake fakirs – basically believing anything except himself, despite his father figure Kaka’s (Mithun Chakraborty) best efforts. His redeeming moment arrives when two strangers from China claim him as a reincarnation of war hero in the past and convince him to come to China. But little does he know that he is being taken to the Promised Land to get rid of the vicious smuggler Hojo (Gordon Liu)!
So Sidhu blissfully sets forth to China with Chopstick (Ranvir Shorey) who instigates dreams of a delicious future and forgets to reveal the perils which await him. Along the way, he meets Sakhi (Deepika Padukone) and falls in love with her. Sidhu has the fire of revenge in his belly and finds one man who will make him a Kung Fu expert and set the village free. Armed with this Sifu (master), faith in himself and the love of the fair Sakhi, Sidhu sets forth to conquer all.
Why do girls always fall for the wrong guy? Their mothers warn them about him. Their friends shake their heads disapprovingly. Their minds tell them to escape while the going is good. But no! Oh no! their hearts are another story. You see, they are sending all the wrong signals. His name alone is enough to scramble their brains and set their hearts racing.
Meet Raj. He is the stuff of dreams, with the looks of a ‘butter wouldn’t melt in my mouth’ good boy.
Who can blame him for falling in love as many times as love is fortunate enough to find him. It’s not his fault that he’s a heartbreaker, it’s in his DNA.
Come discover his three love stories; Raj and Mahi, Raj and Radhika, Raj and Gayatri. Different ladyloves at different times in his life. And each of them, teach him a little bit about love and a little bit about life, in their own sweet, sexy or sassy way.
Come fall in love… three times.

Fresh Face of the Year
At the peak of her career in 2014, Deepika Padukone started feeling low, empty and directionless. She experienced a sick, pit-ish feeling in her stomach for days on end. On seeking help from mental health professionals, she was diagnosed with depression and soon after, began treatment.
While researching her own illness she was exposed to two stark realities – Mental illness was a taboo topic in India like elsewhere in the world, and the lack of information and stigma associated with mental illness made it difficult for those who are suffering to seek the help they need. She sought to change this.
On New Year’s Day 2015, she decided to go public with her struggle in the hope that this would encourage others who were suffering to come out and seek help. Six months later ‘The Live Love Laugh Foundation’ (TLLLF) was set up.
The main objective of TLLLF is to create awareness around stress, anxiety and depression, as well as to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness.
In 2016, TLLLF launched its flagship school awareness program. This program seeks to educate adolescent children between the ages of 13 – 17 and their teachers, on mental health and to be able to identify the signs and symptoms and deal with stress, anxiety and depression. The pan-India program is conducted free-of-cost in private and public school, in 4 vernacular languages across 6 states.
TLLLF also supports a rural mental health program by partnering with APD (Association for People with Disability) to support their existing project that helps individuals from low income groups to access free mental health care. This includes free medication, ongoing psychiatric treatment and follow ups, vocational training guidance and government aided schemes. This program is currently operational in and around 6 taluks across Davengere district of rural Karnataka.
While these programs have focused on specific audiences, TLLLF also launched two nationwide campaigns.
‘Dobara Poocho’, launched in October 2016 was India’s first public awareness campaign on mental health. The campaign sought to encourage people to “ask again” when they felt their loved ones or people around them were in distress. TLLLF then followed it up by unveiling the ‘Not Ashamed’ campaign in October 2018. This campaign showcased real survivors of mental illness and their stories to champion the cause further and show that mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. Via the campaign, TLLLF aimed to create a movement encouraging both those who are suffering from mental illness as well those who are not, to engage in an informed dialogue that supports the cause of mental health and banish the stigma that exists in our society. The campaign has successfully managed to execute what it set out to do. Many individuals even today continue to share their struggles with mental illness using the ‘Not Ashamed’ hashtag in the hope that others too will have the courage to seek help.
Underlining its commitment to the cause, in March 2018, TLLLF also commissioned a national survey on ‘How India Perceives Mental Health,’ aimed at gauging public perceptions surrounding mental health.
Although the Foundation is beginning to make an impact in the area of mental health, it is clear that there is still a long way to go. We believe that together we can all make a difference.
