Siddharth Garima: Deepika Padukone can turn obstacles into opportunities

New Delhi: In an exclusive chat with News9, Siddharth Garima spoke about Deepika Padukone, ''She is one of the hard-working actresses we have worked with. She gave it all to play Leela - the dialogues were extensive and layered. The character had fire and restraint, a rebellion.''

''She went beyond expectations in Ram Leela. And then. She never played a character like Leela again. Not so far. Bold lover, unafraid, irreverent and classic. For us, Deepika is the Juliet to Ranveer's Romeo forever.''

Moreover, Deepika has performed brilliantly in 7 dance numbers written by us. And more than 12 have been filmed with her. That's a high!

Deepika Padukone is the kind of person who can turn obstacles into opportunities. She never used to think in 'Hindi', but that never stopped her from mastering the layered dialogue in Ram Leela. She'll always hold a special place in our hearts as Leela was the first female character created by us, and she played it with elan.
