Sushmita Sen’s Role of Split Personality In ‘No Problem’

So far, Sushmita Sen has never played a character that suffers from split personality. However in NO PROBLEM, she has exactly done, something which turned out to be a hilarious experience for all involved.
Confirms Anees Bazmee, the writer and director of NO PROBLEM, which sees him working with the ex-Miss Universe for the first time ever, “Yes, the character of Kajal which is played by Sushmita has a split personality to her. She is really unpredictable, something that also turns out to be life threatening for her on-screen husband Anil Kapoor.”
“It is because of this very fact (i.e. Anil being a cop) that Sushmita’s personality changes after marriage,” laughs Bazmee, “While she used to think of him as a hero earlier, he turned out to be a zero in real life. This takes a toll on her mind and now she wants to commit his murder.”
Of course, given the fact that the film is designed as a laughter entertainer for an entire family viewing, the proceedings have been designed as funny instead of gory.
Assures Bazmee, “There was a different aspect of split personality that I had showed in DEEWANGEE where Ajay Devgn suffered from this syndrome. However, in case of NO PROBLEM, it is an entirely different projection.” Source

Deepika Padukone On ‘Break Ke Baad’

Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone has been always in the news mostly for her relationships rather than for her films. From the start of her career with the movie Om Shanti Om in 2007, the actress has been linked with several men. Initially, Deepika was reportedly dating Nihal Pandya and then cricketer Yuvraj Singh.

Deepika was then frequently spotted with liquid baron Vijay Mallya’s son Sidhartha Mallya. However, Deepika is still in denial mode and maintained that she has just professional relationship with Sidhartha. There is a buzz that Deepika is roaming around with the junior Mallya only to keep him in limelight because the senior Mallya wants to project his son as the perfect heir of his glitzy lifestyle and property.

She probably wanted to shift the attention from Ranbir. However, Ms Padukone is very focused in her life now as she refuses to accept her relationship with Sidhartha. She has probably taken her upcoming movie’s title Break Ke Baad very seriously! The actress now wants her fans to talk about her movies and not about her personal life.
