When Deepika sounded like Big B

Okay, this might sound shocking, but believe it or not, when Neil Nitin Mukesh narrates this story, it sounds like a rip-roaring comedy.

Recently, during an exclusive interview with zoOm, he told us how Deepika Padukone’s gola binge ended up with her sounding like Amitabh Bachchan. And the Lafangey Parindey jodi got into a banter about this. Neil said, “I warned her not to have too many. She probably had more than seven at one go. And when she landed on the sets everyone thought Mr Bachchan was there.” Ms Dee quickly defended, “It was very hot, and we were shooting outdoors. I had never had a gola before this... you don’t get golas in Bangalore. I loved the kaala khatta flavour.” Yeah, we know that the thing with golas is that you can’t stop at one. Now anyone would give an arm and leg to sound like Big B, even for a day, hai na? We think you should be screaming with joy at that, Ms Dee.
