The 23-year-old Deepika Padukone is the brand ambassador of Fiama Di Wills and she recently launched two new soap variants of Fiama , which is also the associate sponsor of the upcoming Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WLIFW). She also unveiled designer Sumeet Varma’s preview collection for WLIFW titled ‘The Life of a Swan-Swan lake’.

On the occasion Deepika spoke out on a variety of topics including the fact that she is eagerly awaiting the release of her forthcoming ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’ where she plays a bold role.

”’Karthik Calling Karthik’ is a romantic thriller and my role is quite bold and optimistic in the film as opposite to Farhan’s which is a very pessimistic one,” Deepika told reporters adding, “It is a tough film and was a very challenging role.”

Directed by Vijay Lalwani, the film is about a man who gets phone calls from himself. It is co-produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under their banner Excel Entertainment and Amit Chandra and Vijay Lalwani of Magic Beans.

About her Diwali plans, Deepika said: “I will be with my family.”

Deepika Padukone was last seen in ‘Love Aaj Kal’ and talking about the success of the film, she said, ”I am glad that people have liked it and it is a hit. I think it’s a step towards more interesting and realistic cinema. A lot of people who have been through an experience like that have actually related to the film.”

Padukone was all praises for beau Ranbir Kapoor’s latest release ‘Wake Up Sid’. ”I think Wake Up Sid was a really sweet, funny and romantic film. Ayan (the director) has brought out the best in both the actors,” she said.
