Can’t comment on what Ranbir has been through: Deepika Padukone

Actress Deepika Padukone feels she should not comment on her ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor’s recent bad run at the box office. Ranbir’s 2013 comedy Besharam and his latest outing Bombay Velvet failed to register success at the box office.

“I believe everyone, who comes on board for a film contributes for the success and failure. Ranbir is a huge star. Everyone goes through ups and downs in their career. I think I am no one to comment on what he has been through. As far as Tamasha is concerned we all have contributed,” Deepika told reporters here at an event.

The 29-year-old actress will be seen romancing Ranbir in Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha. The duo earlier worked together in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Bachna Ae Haseeno.

Deepika said it was her wish to star opposite the 32-year-old Barfi! actor in a film directed by Imtiaz. “Ranbir and Imtiaz have worked earlier in Rockstar. I have worked with Imtiaz in Love Aaj Kal. Then Ranbir and I have worked in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Bachna Ae Haseeno. I wanted to work with this team… I wanted to be directed by Imtiaz in a film with Ranbir,” she said.

“We all are friends and it’s a dream to be working with this team of Ranbir and Imtiaz. I am happy this film happened. If the film does well, we all will be equally responsible for it and if it doesn’t do well then also we will be equally responsible,” she said.

Gossip mills are abuzz that Deepika would be a part of most of the promotions of Tamasha. On this, the actress said “I don’t know what is the marketing, promotion plan.”

She added she was a bit “cut off of what is happening outside”, as her another film, Bajirao Mastani “is extremely draining physically, mentally and emotionally.” Tamasha will hit theatres on November 27.
