Deepika Padukone: I will never do anything to hurt Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood’s leggy lass Deepika Padukone is flying high after the success of her recent release ‘Piku’. On the other hand her ex-beau Ranbir Kapoor’s highly anticipated movie ‘Bombay Velvet’ fizzled out without any spark at the box office. When Deepika Padukone decided to celebrate the success of her film by hosting a party for her friends from the Industry, there was a lot of speculation about the timing of the party. The reason being that it coincided with the dismal performance of Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Bombay Velvet’ at the box office.

Deepika Padukone clarified, “The party was a last minute idea and she made calls just a night before to invite people for it. She also pointed out that the makers of Bombay Velvet including Anurag Kashyap, Madhu Mantena and Vikas Bahl attended the party which happened at Olive in Mumbai.”

Deepika further added, “Only Vikramaditya Motwane was away in Cannes. I also invited Ranbir and Katrina (Kaif) but I can understand them not wanting to party since I’ve gone through similar phases in my career. I will never do anything to hurt Ranbir. He’d talk to me about ‘Bombay Velvet’ during ‘Tamasha’, admitted it was a difficult character even for a brilliant actor like him. I’ve yet to see the film but it belonged to friends of mine and I empathize with their pain, I think the negativity surrounding it is unfair.”

We are sure Deepika, that Ranbir Kapoor understands.
