Deepika Padukone's funny reaction on if she related to 'Cocktail' plot

Deepika Padukone was hailed as the ‘Next Big Thing’ in Bollywood after her debut with Om Shanti Om in 2007. The movie had a perfect setting for a launchpad, Shah Rukh Khan, Farah Khan, a ‘masala’ plot, Diwali release, songs and dance and most importantly, a meaty role. The movie was a big hit at the box office, and there was a flurry of offers her way. Some succeeded, some flopped, but there was nothing much to worry as such because she was working with the big stars and looking pretty. However, after Housefull, the actor faced a torrid time at the ticket windows, with many of her films flopping or she not having much to do in them. Then came Cocktail, which turned out to be a big turning point in her career. Apart from the movie tasting success at the box office, it was a movie that proved that Deepika Padukone can ‘act,’ setting the foundation for many award-winning performances later on. The Chennai Express star now says that the movie opened her up in many ways. She also quipped over the plot of the movie that revolved around a man falling in love with his girlfriend’s best friend, saying that it had not happened with her ever.
