On the occasion of Woman’s Day, King Khan gave a pleasant surprise to his leading lady Deepika
Padukone. The superstar announced that starting from Chennai Express; all his films will have the
leading ladies’ names appearing before his in the credit titles.

In Chennai Express, Deepika will be sharing screen space with Shah Rukh Khan for the second time
after her big debut against the superstar in Om Shanti Om. She gladly acknowledged the senior actor’s
chivalrous gesture, "small thoughts bring about big changes. It's a wonderful initiative not to prove that
women are more powerful than men but to create awareness that men and women are equal in all fields
and professions. Shahrukh has always believed woman are equal...not only in the way he interacts
with us but also in his films. I've experienced that first hand with Om Shanti Om and now on Chennai
Express,and I believe this gesture of his is an extension on that.Thank you Shah." And this, probably,
resolves the rumor hounding their fans about their tiff!!

NEWS: Workaholic Deepika

Actress Deepika Padukone has been working on back-to-back movie projects, with barely any time for herself. But she seems to be enjoying the busy schedules.

She has a number of movies lined up for release this year - "Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani", "Chennai Express", "Ram Leela" and "Kochadaiyaan".

After finishing promotions for her recently released "Race 2", she is now busy shooting for her next movie "Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani" in Kashmir.

"Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani" is directed by Ayan Mukherjee. She plays the lead role opposite Ranbir Kapoor.

She is also simultaneously shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Ram Leela" and has just wrapped up Rohit Shetty's "Chennai Express".

NEWS: Deepika spends time with family, thanks to Ranveer

Actress Deepika Padukone can't thank her "Ram Leela" co-star Ranveer Singh enough for giving her time off to visit her parents for the New Year.

Each year Deepika likes to be with her family at this time of the year. However, this year she was committed to shoot for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Ram Leela" with Ranveer.

Ranveer has lately been running from the sets of "Ram Leela" in Gujarat to the sets of "Gunday" in Kolkata. The actor injuried himself on the sets of "Gunday", which eventually affected Bhansali's "Ram Leela" also.

"Ranveer Singh was shooting simultaneously for 'Gunday' and 'Ram Leela'. In fact, the whiskered look that he sports for Sanjay Bhansali's film has been incorporated into his personality in 'Gunday' for the want of a choice. Remember back in 1969 how Rajesh Khanna's bearded look in 'Ittefaq' had to be incorporated into 'Do Raaste' as the superstar shot simultaneously for both," said a source.

Bhansali was all set to complete the shooting of some dramatic scenes between Ranveer and Deepika, but Ranveer's accident forced the director to postpone the shoot.

And Deepika has quietly taken off to Bangalore to be with her family.
