Eagerly
waiting
for
the
release
of
her
new
movie
Cocktail,
actress
Deepika
Padukone
says
the
character
of
Veronica
was
challenging
and
she
needed
inner
confidence
to
play
it.
"When
I
was
given
the
script
I
was
offered
both
the
roles..it
was
for
me
to
decide
which
part
to
do.
I
was
confused
which
part
to
play.
Then
I
felt
I
was
ready
to
play
Veronica.
But
I
needed
inner
confidence
to
be
able
to
pull
it
off
as
the
character
could
go
wrong
in
many
ways," Deepika
told
reporters
at
an
event
here.
In
Homi
Adajania's
Cocktail,
Deepika
will
be
seen
in
a
bold
'avatar'
sporting
a
bikini.
"The
Indian
body
type
is
somehow
not
suited
for
a
bikini
so
I
feel
we
as
Indians
need
to
work
a
little
extra
on
our
body
if
we
want
to
carry
it
off
well.
I
changed
my
work
out
slightly," she
said.
"I
had
to
sacrifice
going
out
for
dinners,
every
time
Dino
(Dinesh
Vijan)
decided
to
take
the
entire
cast
out,
I
would
sit
in
my
hotel
and
have
steamed
fish
and
not
have
any
dessert.
All
this
was
not
easy,"
she
said.
On
her
character,
she
said,
"Veronica
has
grown
up
in
a
broken
family
so
she
has
not
got
the
conventional
love
of
parents.
She
is
feisty
but
not
a
rebel.
She
is
a
super
confident
girl
who
craves
for
attention.
She
is
a
girl
who
is
out
there
to
have
fun
and
enjoy
herself."
"She
is
not
apologetic
about
herself
and
is
looking
for
stability
because
she
has
not
had
that
in
her
life.
At
the
same
time,
she
is
very
emotional,"
Deepika
mentioned.
This
is
for
the
third
time
that
Deepika
is
being
paired
opposite
Saif
Ali
khan
and
the
actress
is
full
praises
for
her
co-star.
"In
spite
of
him
(Saif
Ali
Khan)
having
worked
so
much...he
is
still
someone
who
fits
into
these
young
love
stories
and
romantic
characters,"
she
said.
The
film
is
scheduled
to
release
on
July
13.
