Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, on her debut appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, has revealed that she has a huge crush on her “xXx” co-star Vin Diesel and in her head they have “amazing babies” together.
The 31-year-old actress made her Hollywood debut with xXx: Return of Xander Cage, which released in India last Saturday. Ahead of its US release, Deepika visited comedian-TV host Ellen DeGeneres on her popular show to promote the action film.
Ellen asked her if there is a “romance going on” saying, “That’s what you would get from that as well, which there. Oh! Look at that face! Does that mean there is? Because that’s what the rumour is.”
Deepika replied, “Well, there is no smoke without fire you know, and look at that!”
When the TV host further probed, the actress said, “But, it’s all in my head!! You know.
“So yeah, I mean in my head I think, like yeah, we are together and we have this amazing chemistry, and we live together and we have these amazing babies! But it’s all in my head,” she added.
Not quite getting her answer, a confused Ellen asked, “Now you just became crazy! I don’t know what happened, first it was a crush and now you have babies. I don’t know.”
“Deepika replied, “Never a crush!”
The episode will air on Romedy Now this Thursday (19) at 7pm.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
