I was the original replacement for Aishwarya Rai: Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone wants nothing more than to do a sports -based film. And if it is about badminton then nothing like it. "Look at what Chak De India did to hockey. I'd love to do a really good film on the game of badminton which is the family game."
In fact efforts are on to put a project like this together. Deepika recently played bandminton with her dad Prakash Padukone recently. "We were playing together after a really long time.I like to contribute as much as possible to sports. Yes, I'd support badminton more than any other sport. But I'd like to support Indian sports in every way possible.This was the first time that we played in front of the media."
While doing the intricate stunts and martial arts in Chandni Chowk To China Deepika Padukone got herself a chronically sprained ankle. "The stunts in Chandni Chowk To China were tough. Fortunately I got no broken bones. But I got a twisted ankle which will remain with me. My left ankle will remain sprained for all my life.
I sprained it once while rehearsing and then I sprained the same ankle at exactly the same place twice again. Luckily it's not a fracture. But I can't sit cross-legged or sit on my hunches…I can't do anything that requires me to put my weight on my left leg."
