Deepika, Sonam face tough consequences for going against Ranbir

Latest reports from the tinsel town confirmed that Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor will not be joining Ranbir Kapoor in his July 2011 world tour. While actresses like Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu and Malaika Arora Khan will be a part of the tour, Deepika and Sonam have been asked to quit.

Ranbir's overprotective daddy, Rishi Kapoor reasoned that he didn't wanted any tiff between Deepika and Katrina on board with Ranbir. However, rumors are rife that Dips has been intentionally kept out, knowing that Katrina wouldn't be comfortable sharing the stage with her.

Dips, Sonam out of the 2011 world tour
It may be recalled that Rishi is upset with the two actresses for making rude remarks on his son's character in 'Koffee With Karan Season 3' and he prefers Katrina over Deepika and Sonam.

Rishi Kapoor admitted that it is impossible to bring Deepika-Katrina on board together saying, "Deepika wanted to come along. We didn't want any stress behind the stage. See, as it is, Ranbir has never been on stage. We want it to go smoothly, no backstage jhik-jhik, please!"

Sonam has backed out from the tour as well. Rishi Kapoor explained, "She begged off saying she didn't have a song repertoire to stand on stage with Katrina and Priyanka."

"We start off in the UK, US and Canada. Then after six months we'll go for another lap of the tour. I've done these world tours over and over again. But for Ranbir, the world tour would be a new experience,” he added.

Deepika feels unprotective
She dosen't come from an influential, filmy family, but has the guts to say that her “ex was a cheater.” Deepika Padukone has recieved much flak from Rishi Kapoor and says she's targeted as she is not from a Bollywood background.

The actor feels people attack her because she is “the only one who is not from a film family unlike the current lot of actors including Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Imran Khan and Sonakshi Sinha.”

“Of late I have had to protect myself. Unlike film families who stand up for their children when they are in a situation, I have to fight my own battles.”

Padukone admitted that now she has made friends in the industry who stand by her. The actor is close to Farah Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra, Imtiaz Ali, and Ashutosh Gowariker, with whom she shares a “comfort zone”.

“I know I can pick up the phone and talk to them. However, I am not an insider. I don’t come from a family that has known the film industry for generations,” she added.
