Saif Ali Khan not only wanted his love Kareena Kapoor in his life but the actor also wished to cast her in his debut production. The very thought of Saif has hurt Deepika. Saif wanted Kareena to cast in Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Love Aaj Kal’ but on Imtiaz’s insistence, he signed Deepika Padukone.
Though hurt by Saif’s acceptance of not wanting her in his film, Deepika has shown great maturity in her reaction. She is reluctant to comment on Saif’s verdict as he is her producer and co-star. She instead spoke in favor of the actor and praised him as a co-star.
Deepika Padukone is rather happy that director Imtiaz Ali chose her over Kareena despite Saif’s insistence to cast Kareena. Deepika concluded that she fits the role so well as if the story has been written keeping her in mind.
