Saif Ali Khan’s first home production Love Aaj Kal stars Deepika Padukone against Kareena Kapoor’s love Saif but Deepika is wondering why Kareena is being talked about every time on the sets even when she has nothing to do with the film.

Annoyed Deepika now feels that the movie should have been better dedicated to Kareena.
Deepika says, “This must be the first film in the history of cinema where a leading lady is being talked about so much for not being in the film.”

So, you think Kareena could have been in your place? No, I’m not annoyed by these never-ending references to Kareena. When people see the film I know they’ll come out talking about me and my performance. Director Imtiaz Ali was very sure he wanted only me in the film.”

She further says, “Imtiaz was so sure that he wanted me for the part that he had offered me Love Aaj Kal even before my first film, Om Shanti Om, was released. Even before seeing me on screen, he knew that I was right for the role. So there was no question of any other actress being in the film.”

Talking about how she got the role she says, I remember many years ago when I was a model, Imtiaz had offered me a film. At that time I wasn’t ready for an acting career. In fact when I had told him I wasn’t ready to join films, Imtiaz had said, ‘When you’re ready let me know’. He kept his promise. That’s how I got Love Aaj Kal. So now I’m not affected by people talking more about Kareena than me.”

Anything you would like to say about her producer-cum-co-star Saif’s on-record longing for Kareena’s presence in Love Aaj Kal?

Deepika says, “Since Saif is in a relationship with Kareena, isn’t it understandable if he wanted Kareena in Love Aaj Kal? They’ve worked together in the past. And I’m sure he wants to work with her in his home production.The same I would have wanted for Ranbir?"
