It so happened that Nana Patekar is set to direct a film for Prakash Jha and Patekar approached Deepika for a casting. However, when Deepika tried to suggest some changes in the script, Nana lost his cool and gave her left and right. Nana went on to the extent of saying that he has immense experience in the film industry and how can a newcomer like Deepika suggest he make changes in the script. Deepika maintained a dignified silence but now she has decided not to do the film at all.

However, a close friend of Deepika denies any tiff between the two and said, “Yes, Nana had approached her with a script however Deepika refused to do it as she could not connect to it. Nana did not have a verbal argument with her and she is not aware if Nana is upset with her. She did not do the film as it was something that she just did not want to do. That’s it.”

“Correct me if I am wrong, but I personally feel that the Indian body type is not cut out to be size zero. I am not size zero and I don’t believe in that either,” Deepika told IANS.

“I believe that it’s nice to be little full and have a nice shape,” she added.

The Bollywood actress was the show stopper for designer duo Shantanu & Nikhil’s show at the Lakme Fashion Week here Sunday.

According to Deepika, an actress gets a role for her performance and not the body type.

“In the (film) industry, body size doesn’t matter. What matters is how much an actor contributes through his performance and not his body size,” explained Deepika.

“It is important that every person should wear clothes that go with their body – the cut, the fabric make a lot of difference,” she added.

Apparently, director Sajid Khan also wanted the crowd-puller duo for his film House Full. Kat was asked to do a special ‘Apni Toh Jaise Taise’ item song with Akshay Kumar and the rest of the starcast. In fact, Sajid has bought the rights of the original song, which is from the 80s hit ‘Laawaris’.

But the idea wasn’t too welcomed by other actresses of ‘Housefull’, namely Lara Dutta and Deepika Padukone. Insecurity played its part and as reported the gals made their “displeasure” evident.

As a source tells a tabloid, Katrina did hear the song and quite liked it, but was reluctant to do it because of her cold vibes with Deepika. Ultimately the song was picturised on Jacqueline Fernandez.
