100 crore club does not fascinate Deepika

June 18, 2013

DeepikaMumbai, Jun 18: Two of her films this year, 'Race 2' and the latest 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani', have entered the elite Rs 100 crore club, but actress Deepika Padukone does not attach much significance to this tag.

Race 2' received a fantastic opening at the box office giving Deepika a superb headstart this year. Her recent release opposite ex-beau Ranbir Kapoor also did well at BO. Both the films managed to achieve the benchmark. Infact, YJHD has become the first film to cross Rs 100 crore mark within a week of its release.

"It feels good when your films do good business and is appreciated by everyone. It is an added bonus. But I don't give importance to Rs 100 crore club. I continue to focus on my work and do better. But what if a film earns money but the film is not good... I feel all good films should do well," Deepika told PTI in an interview here.

Recently, masala entertainers have managed to do over Rs 100 crore business. But Deepika feels its unfair to divide the success of a film based on its genre.

"It feels good when films like 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani', 'Barfi' and others do well.

One should not categorise the success of films genre wise, like only action or masala films will do well. All good films will do well," she said.

Her last three films -- 'Cocktail', 'Race 2', 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' did well commercially, but she does not review them.

"I don't sit and analyse about the films I do. It feels good that my films have been liked by the audience," she said.

Usually, when an actor has made a mark, they tend to become choosy. But Deepika's approach towards work has not changed.

"I work on a film if I feel excited and If I know I will enjoy being part of the project. I have not changed my approach to work," she added.

Deepika made her debut in Bollywood opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 'Om Shanti Om', which was a huge hit. She then went on do films like 'Bachna Ae Haseeno', 'Chandni Chowk To China', 'Love Aaj Kal', 'Housefull', 'Karthik Calling Karthik', 'Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Say', 'Aarakshan', 'Cocktail', 'Race 2', 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' and others. Most of these films did well at the box office.

Talking about her journey in the industry, the 27-year-old says it has been a learning experience.

"Every time you go on a film set you come out learning new things. Every film has taught me something or the other. It feels good when people from the industry call you and appreciate your work," she said.

Her next release is the most anticipated film of the year – Rohit Shetty's 'Chennai Express' - and she will be ending the year with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Ram Leela'.

"It was lot of fun working on the film. It was a great experience. Rohit is known for making comedy films and his this film has turned out to be very entertaining. It is very different from what he has done. I am quite excited for my next release," she said.

Los Angeles, Mar 24: In a bizarre video shot from her rose petal filled bathtub, pop star Madonna has called the coronavirus pandemic "a great equaliser".

The music icon said the virus doesn't discriminate between rich and poor.

That's the thing about COVID-1. It doesn't care about how rich you are, how famous you are, how funny you are, how smart you are, where you live, how old you are, what amazing stories you can tell.

It's the great equaliser and what's terrible about it is what's great about it. What's terrible about it is that it's made us all equal in many ways, and what's wonderful about is, is that it's made us all equal in many ways, Madonna said in the video while having a milky bath in tub full of roses.

The 61-year-old singer, who had to cancel two of her concerts in Paris due to coronavirus outbreak, also referenced her 1995 song Human Nature in the video saying we are all going down together .

According to the Johns Hopkins coronavirus tracker, the death toll from the virus globally has risen to 14,641 with 336,000 cases reported in 173 countries and territories.

New Delhi Apr 10:  Actor Salman Khan on Friday thanked people for staying indoors and shared two pictures, first showing Bada Qabaristan's (graveyard) gate which has been closed due to lockdown and the second was of an empty street in Mumbai.

The actor thanked the people for listening to the guidelines and understanding the gravity of this situation amid the 21-day government-imposed lockdown in view of coronavirus outbreak. The tweet by 'Dabangg' actor came soon after the conclusion of Shab-e-Barat.

Shab-e-Barat is observed as a day of forgiveness or atonement in Islam and leads to congregations at graveyards and religious places.

The 54-year-old actor took to Twitter and wrote, "Wah! Thank u for listening n understanding the gravity of this situation the country is in. God bless n protect each n every 1.

Over the past few days, appeals were made to the Muslim community from several quarters to not venture out of their houses to pray on Shab-e-Barat in view of the COVID-19 lockdown.

Earlier, the 'Tiger Zinda Hai' star shared his lockdown experience in a video message with nephew Nirvaan and urged people to take the government's advisory of self-isolation seriously amid the rising cases of coronavirus in the country.

Washington, May 19: Actors Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox are going their separate ways after 10 years of marriage.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, 46-year-old Green, on Monday announced the news during an episode of his podcast 'With Brian Austin Green' where he emotionally opened up about the breakup with Fox.

The 'Beverly Hills 90210' star revealed that they simply grew distant at the end of last year while Fox was away shooting a film.

Green recalled Fox saying during the conversation they had after she returned from filming, "She said, 'I realised when I was out of the country working alone that I feel more like myself, and I liked myself better during that experience and I think that might be something worth trying for me.'"

Though feeling "shocked" and "upset" at first, Green admitted that he couldn't be upset with her for being honest.

He said, "Neither one of us did anything to each other. She's always been honest with me. I've always been honest with her. We've had an amazing relationship. I will always love her. And I know she will always love me and I know as far as a family what we have built is really cool and really special."

The 'Impact Point' star shared that they intend to "still do family vacations and holidays as a family and really make that a focus for the kids."

Green went on to say that it's hard to adjust to the change and he doesn't want himself and Fox to "be at odds": "She's been my best friend for 15 years and I don't want to lose that."

He added: "There's this sense of loss of, 'How do I go on with this big part of my life that I've always known and loved and shared changing?' What does that landscape look like? What does that life look like?' ... Megan and I talked a lot about it, and it's a big concern for both of us." Aware of the scrutiny around their age difference, Green defended Fox, saying "she's really a responsible person. ... She really loves the kids and cares about what their life and their experience is."

The couple share three children together 7-year-old Noah, 6-year-old Bodhi, and 3-year-old Journey, and Green said that they are only concerned about controlling how the separation will truly affect their children.

After photos circulated online of Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, hanging out -- Fox and Baker are co-stars in the upcoming film, 'Midnight in the Switchgrass,' Green said Fox and Baker are "just friends at this point."

He said, "She met this guy, Colson, on set. I've never met him. Megan and I have talked about him. I trust her judgment; she's always had really good judgment."

Green emphasised that despite what tabloids can say, he didn't want the public to categorise Fox and Baker as "villains or that I was a victim in any way."

Fox and Green started dating in 2004 and married in 2010. Fox had filed for divorce from Green in 2015, but the couple later reconciled.
