Deepika Padukone very candid on the Kapoor family

When Deepika Padukone met her idol, Rishi Kapoor not as a fan but Rishi's son's girlfriend she was flabbergasted and said "It's amazing. But in his younger days my dad (badminton champ Prakash Padukone) was often told that he resembled Rishi Uncle. I grew up as his big fan, have seen Karz and Kabhi Kabhie number of times. When Ranbir took me to meet his parents, I was re-living my childhood images of the most compatible couple I've ever seen on screen."
Even the Kapoors has welcomed their would be daughter in law that’s why Deepika feels "Rishi Uncle is so warm. As for Neetu Aunty, she has an aura of natural grace and charm about her. She's very poised and articulate. I've met her more than I've met Uncle. Me and Rishi uncle are going to be working toge

ther. We had a reading together recently. He's so passionate about cinema. I've so much to learn from him." 

 

Deepika cannot go on without appreciating the Kapoors, she has lot of regard to both of them which is apparent from her statement which says "Both Ranbir and his sister Ridhima have been brought up with the right values. They come from such an illustrious family. And yet they're so down-to-earth. I see many similarities between their upbringing and mine. Though both Ranbir and I were exposed to celebrity situations from childhood, our parents have made sure we're firmly rooted to reality."
When asked about their marriage, Deepika expressed that “we're both very comfortable in our relationship. Now that we've come out in the open about our relationship, our parents are very happy. Beyond that it's too early to talk about marriage."
About her affair with Yuvraj and on the impressionable comment made by Yuvraj, Deepika says confidently that "I really don't think she said anything against me. If she had a grudge she'd call me up and talk to me. I always say that no outside source can know what kind of a relationship two people share. I spoke to her after the statements attributed to her came out. I've always shared a fantastic rapport with her. She's a wonderful and strong person. I've learnt a lot from her. As a woman and mother, I look up to Yuvraaj's mother. She's a multi-tasking mother. She has single-handedly brought up her two children. Yuvraaj is doing extremely well for himself. And his younger brother who has just started out is also doing very well himself. I wish the family all the best."
