Rumour has it that Deepika, who is at the top of the heap these days, is being boycotted by her contemporaries. PHOTO: FILE
Last year, Deepika was outstandingly successful at the box office. The dusky beauty delivered four back-to-back blockbusters, all of which entered the Rs100 crore club. Her romantic comedy film Chennai Express co-starring Shahrukh Khan went on to breaking several box office records and raked in more than Rs2 billion, making it one of the biggest grossers of all time. Looking at her success rate in 2013, it would be safe to say that Deepika even managed to leave behind the ruling Khans of Bollywood in the rat race. Unsurprisingly Deepika has raked in all the awards this year. But it seems she is now paying the price for being at the top of the success ladder, according to bollywoodlife.com.
A couple of B-town actors have stooped low and decided not to share their designers with the Ram-Leela actor, according to bollywoodlife.com. While talking to a tabloid, a source said, “They don’t acknowledge her anymore. Some have even told their dress designers to stop designing for her.” Though Deepika said on Koffee with Karan that she is friends with her contemporaries Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif, her close friend Priyanka Chopra was there to rebut that and state otherwise.
It appears that Deepika’s success has not gone down well with many of her peers. If they have decided to boycott all of her fashion demands by strictly telling all their personal designers to boycott her, the girls seem to have ganged up on this reigning queen of B-Town. As long as our Cocktail babe has her acting skills in her kitty and those long legs to kick everyone out, she has nothing to worry about.
