Deepika Padukone said that her Bajirao Mastani co-star Priyanka Chopra is her first friend from Bollywood, with whom she became friends even before she entered the film industry.
"Priyanka is the first film person I ever met, when I had not even joined the industry. She was already a star even back then. She was the first friend that I made when I came in," Deepika said at the trailer launch of Bajirao Mastani in Mumbai.
"We were so comfortable while shooting that it troubled a few people because it went against what a lot of people thought it would be. People expected there to be a lot of tension. But it was completely different," she added.
Deepika and Priyanka's wonderful chemistry can be seen in the song Pinga, in which the duo have a dance-off.
There have been direct comparisons to the iconic Dola Re song from the film Devdas, also directed by Mr Bhansali and featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit.
But both Deepika and Priyanka dismissed the comparisons, saying Pinga is a song in which their characters decide to forget their differences and celebrate womanhood and the love they have for their man, Bajirao played by Ranveer Singh.
"In fact, Sanjay sir would keep joking with us that 'Why can't you guys just fight?'. It was great fun. We've watched each other's back when we were shooting this song. If there were steps that I found difficult, she would encourage me, and vice versa," Deepika said.
