Deepika Padukone has established herself as one of the most sought-after superstars in both Indian and global cinema. However, her recent back-to-back exits from huge projects, such as Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit and Vyjayanthi Movies’ Kalki 2898 AD sequel, have raised questions about her professionalism. Amidst this, Deepika’s Cocktail co-star, Diana Penty, shared her experience working with the actress.
Diana Penty recalls Deepika Padukone’s support and calls her the ‘best co-star’
Diana Penty made her Bollywood debut with the 2012 film, Cocktail. At the NDTV Yuva Conclave, Diana shared her experience as a newcomer with no prior acting background. She expressed her gratitude for having Deepika Padukone as her co-star. Diana also called both her colleagues, Saif Ali Khan and Deepika, her ‘pillars of strength’. The Shiddat actress was quoted as saying:
“She was honestly the best co-actor to have in my first film. Deepika and Saif were both my pillars of support through the times when I knew nothing. I was literally on a film set for the first time in my life, doing my first few scenes, my first few dialogue deliveries. Everything was so surreal, so new for me, but the two of them made sure that they supported me throughout. They made me feel completely comfortable, made light of everything. If I forgot my lines and we had to redo the scene, they made me feel like it was no big deal. So I really, really appreciate that.”
