Yes,
you
read
it
right!
We
all
know
that
now
there's
zero
harshness
between
Deepika
Padukone
and
Katrina
Kaif.
The
duo
is
back
to
being
friends,
and
is
more
than
cordial
to
each
other.
From
wishing
each
other
on
their
birthdays
to
dropping
sweet
comments
on
their
pictures,
the
duo
does
everything
that
will
assure
their
fans
that
they
let
bygones
be
bygones.
But
did
you
know
that
even
when
Deepika
and
Katrina
were
not
on
good
terms
with
each
other,
the
former
had
defended
the
latter
in
public?
Let
us
take
you
back
to
the
press
conference
of
Deepika
which
dates
back
to
2014.
Deepika
Didn't
Like
The
Objectification
Of
Katrina
During
the
press
conference
in
2014,
when
Deepika
was
asked
by
a
reporter
what
makes
her
take
up
a
performance-driven
role
or
a
show
piece
role,
the
Piku
actress
asked
for
references
regarding
the
'showpiece'
term.
To
this,
the
reporter
gave
the
reference
of
Katrina
Kaif
for
her
role
in
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan.
Deepika
Schooled
The
Reporter
&
Defended
Katrina
Deepika
was
quick
to
school
the
reporter
for
his
unsuitable
reference
and
said,
"But
according
to
her
she
has
worked
very
hard
no?
Then
how
can
you
call
her
a
showpiece."
The
Chennai
Express
actress
further
asserted
that
being
an
actress
is
not
an
easy
task
as
it
involves
a
lot
of
hard
work.
'Being
A
Heroine
Is
Not
Easy'
Deepika
had
further
added,
"I
am
just
trying
to
say
that
the
hard
work
and
effort
is
still
the
same.
Being
a
heroine
is
not
easy,
let
me
tell
you
that.
It
looks
very
glamorous
and
like
a
great
life,
but
it's
lot
of
hard
work."
The
Padmavat
actress
also
said
that
she
can't
comment
on
other
people's
choices
of
films
or
roles,
as
some
things
may
appeal
to
her
while
some
may
not.
So,
she
can
only
speak
for
the
films
that
she
has
done.
Deepika
On
Her
Selection
Of
Films
Deepika
concluded
by
saying,
"People
don't
remember
them
because
the
film
didn't
do
well.
That's
why
we
say
the
most
important
thing
is
for
the
film
to
do
well.
If
a
film
does
well,
you
remember
the
success
and
characters.
So
I
have
always
selected
my
films
like
that
and
I
try
to
do
justice
to
those
characters."
Cut
to
present,
Deepika
was
last
seen
in
Chhapaak,
which
was
indeed
a
content-driven
film.
She
will
next
be
seen
in
Nag
Ashwin's
yet-to-be-titled
multilingual
film
featuring
Prabhas
and
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
the
lead
roles.
