Saturday night saw an unexpected guest landing in the city. While Ranbir Kapoor and Bipasha Basu were expected to hit town for a Bachna Ae Haseeno promotional bout, their co-passenger was not slated to board the Delhi-Calcutta flight.
But Deepika Padukone could not spend a day without her beau, and just as Saif-Kareena had stormed the city together a few months back, so did Bollywood’s current hottest couple Ranbir-Deepika. He in a casual green T-shirt, she in a gorgeous red gown.
“I didn’t plan to come here…,” confessed Deepika when Metro got in touch with her on Sunday afternoon. That wasn’t too difficult with the Om Shanti Om beauty holed up in her room at the ITC The Sonar, even as Ranbir and Bipasha went to Fame (South City) to talk about their film, which releases this Friday.
Deepika, although a part of the film, was, however, in no mood for work, having already done her promotion bit in Delhi on Saturday evening. “I didn’t have to do anything here… it’s been a relaxing trip,” she smiled. When asked whether it was Ranbir’s company that brought her to Calcutta, Deepika chose to play safe. “I am really fond of Calcutta and I have been to the city many, many times before. So, it’s been good… eating a lot of local food.”
