Jawan: Deepika Padukone complains she was fooled by Shah Rukh Khan, Atlee

Deepika Padukone's special appearance in "Jawan" left fans captivated, reaffirming her remarkable chemistry with Shah Rukh Khan. It also harked back to Farah Khan's astute decision to launch Deepika alongside Shah Rukh Khan in "Om Shanti Om." However, Deepika revealed feeling a bit misled about her role in "Jawan" during the film's success event.

She disclosed, "I have now discovered that I have been fooled. I was shooting for Project K in Hyderabad when Atlee and Shah Rukh approached me for a cameo. I agreed immediately due to my immense respect and love for him. Any actor would have accepted the role of Aishwarya in a heartbeat."

Deepika's unwavering support for Shah Rukh Khan was evident, and Shah Rukh himself admitted to initially hesitating to approach her for the role, given it was a mother's character and they were simultaneously working on "Pathaan." He praised Deepika's boldness at the event.

Deepika's dedication extended beyond her acting, as she reportedly didn't charge for her role in "Jawan." Her reputation as a lucky mascot in the industry was acknowledged, but she emphasized the deeper bond of love, respect, and trust between her and Shah Rukh Khan. She has consistently expressed gratitude to both Farah and Shah Rukh Khan for her successful career.
