HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | INTERVIEWS Great if I can play two characters in one movie: Deepika Padukone14th Aug 2008 09.01 IST By Agencies Deepika Padukone played a double role opposite Shahrukh Khan in Om Shanti Om and will be playing a double role again opposite Akshay Kumar in her forthcoming movie Chandni Chowk To China . "Its great if I can play two characters in one movie. And it also shows that the directors think I am capable of carrying a double role," Deepika said while talking to reporters in New Delhi. 
Her debut movie 'Om Shanti Om' created box office records world over and she clinched Filmfare Best Female Debut award for her good performance. But, the actress maintains that success and stardom are secondary to her. "Being a good actor is more important to me, than being a star. I am the same person as I was before. If success comes my way, its just an advantage," she said. Deepika worked with Ranbir Kapoor for the first time in Bachna Ae Haseeno , but she said she is very comfortable working with him and shares great on-screen chemistry with the actor. "We both are actors and remain in our characters on the screen. But, at the same time, we understand each other well," said the actress, who is eagerly waiting for August 15, when 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' releases. "Its a youthful movie. I am playing the character of Gayatri, who does what she wants. It's a movie that people will relate to. Everyone goes through such a phase in life," says the diva. Produced by Yashraj Films , the movie also stars Bengali bombshell Bipasha Basu and actress Minissha Lamba . Yash Raj banner has not had a good year after their big films like Tashan and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic did not do well at the box office. But Deepika said she did not feel any pressure while signing the film and defends her decision to work with Yash Raj banner. "I think it's unfair to generalise. Yash Raj banner has given biggest number of hits in past. Couple of failures don't put any pressure on us," she said. Deepika also credited part of her success to her stint in modelling. "Modelling has given me a lot of confidence which gets reflected in my on screen work," she accepted. A former state level player in Badminton, Deepika says that there is a lot of talent in India, but there is not much focus on sports in our country. Frequent shooting schedules keep her away from her family, but the actress is very close to her parents. "My parents and my younger sister are my tutors and I am very close to them. They advice me regarding my career but at the end of the day its my decision" she said. Deepika added that she wants to focus on commercial cinema and solo heroine roles in future. When asked about her dream role, she said, "'Om Shanti Om' was my dream role."
