Deepika Padukone: Reasons why she sits on Shahid Kapoor’s laps !

Ex of Kareena Kapoor and the present of Priyanka Chopra chocolate actor Shahid Kapoor has landed himself onto the lap of the leggy bimbo Deepika Padukone. Of course, they are not dating. It’s all for a film’s cause.

Director Sabbir Khan is making the rom com ‘Heer and Ranjha’ and he has roped in the vivacious Deepika Padukone for the role of Heer. Shahid had already been pulled in to do the honours for Ranjha.

Reasons why Deepika has been cast for Heer:

1. Sabbir was looking for someone who was young and dynamic and Deepika fitted the bill perfectly.

2. Besides, Deepika is also a tad vulnerable with her share of emotional depth; something that was required for her character.

3. Sabbir highly rates Deepika and considers her the finest actress of the new generation.

4. Besides, the pairing of Deepika and Shahid would be the first of such kind and is bound to trigger some interest.

5. And Deepika is not only a good actress but is also endowed with an unearthly beauty which makes her screen presence a riveting one.

The film, however, is some months away and would only go on floors in April, 2011.
