DEEPIKA PADUKONE - IT IS EASY TO SWAYED IN BOLLYWOOD

RAM LEELA has released and turned out to be fifth success in a row for Deepika Padukone. Moreover, the kind of appreciation that has come in for Deepika is universal, something which is becoming a trend of sorts for her since COCKTAIL.

One can well believe that she is pretty much getting used to a continued successful run over last so many months.

"But then there was also a phase when my films were not doing well," sighs Deepika, "I am fortunate that I was never written off. People had faith in me and they stood by every decision of mine. That gives you a different kind of inner strength to go out there and keep working. For me it has been a great year already but somewhere deep down I was hoping that it ends on a good note. However to have such a high as RAM LEELA? Well, that is something great."

From OM SHANTI OM to RAM LEELA, she has demonstrated a consistent run too.

"It is important to keep the focus because in this industry, it is so easy to get swayed. It is easy to get dejected when your films are not going your way or hit the roof when they start turning out to be blockbusters. However success or failure, it is so important not to latch on them but instead move on to your next. This is what I am going to do with shooting for HAPPY NEW YEAR already on. I have moved on," says Deepika in a matter of fact tone.

While Deepika may be moving on to her next project, one waits to see if makers of her film, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Kishore Lulla, have more projects designed for her already in months to come. Now that could well be an icing on the cake for the leggy actress.
