Could not have asked for a better co-star than Deepika Padukone: Priyanka Chopra

The chemistry shared by Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra in the song Pinga from Bajirao Mastani has been the talk of the town. However, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali was not happy with the way the two actresses bonded while shooting for the film.

"Sanjay Leela Bhansali used to get irritated when Deepika and I used to bond on the sets because on screen, our characters don't bond pretty well."

While it's a common stereotype to believe that actresses don't get along well, Priyanka Chopra reveals that she is a very secure actor and is thankful to the audiences for all the love and support. The actress believes that success is one of the major reasons why she does not have a fall-out with any actresses in Bollywood,

"I am very secure as an actor, so I don't have any problem with my co-stars and I have always had extremely warm welcome from people. Deepika and I get along very well. In the film, we have only one song and two scenes together. I could not have asked a better person to do the song with because we both used to motivate each-other, rehearse with each other and we took care of each-other. Having said that, it was a very difficult to shoot for the song."

The song Pinga has also grabbed the attention due to the opposition faced from the Peshwa community. The actress defended the intent of film-maker by saying,

"According to me, Pinga is very authentic. Obviously, we have taken the creative liberty and some things have of course not happened. Even if you take Mary Kom, there are some incidents which have not happened, but dramatisation is necessary. This film is based on Rao - The Book and nobody is out here to insult anyone. Bajirao Mastani is a love story which was forbidden."
