When Bollywood people do not have much to do and are relegated to the back pages of newspapers, guess what they do. They create news and the new social media platforms make it much more easy for them nowadays. Gone are the days when needed to know a reporter from a big magazine to be quoted anywhere and be covered in the news. You just see the Instagram that you follow and you see them making news for the nations national and international and not so important publications.

Deepika Padukone has just done that. And she has done a brilliant job of it. She took a trip down memory lane and went back to her school days and shared multiple pictures of her report cards with notes her teachers had left for her.

One note read, ‘Deepika is very talkative in class’ and even her husband Ranveer Singh agreed to the teacher’s remark. “Trouble maker!,” he commented on her post.

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana also responded to the post with ‘nerd’ and heart emojis.

“Great that you bunked Term II,” he commented on the post”, someone else wrote.

Another report card read that ‘Deepika must learn to follow instructions’.

Ranveer commented, “Yes , teacher . I agree.”

A third and final note read, ‘Deepika tends to day dream’.

Ranveer wrote, “Head in the clouds,” with several cloud and hearts emojis.

Ranveer and Deepika recently attended the IIFA Awards in Mumbai together. While Ranveer won the Best Actor Award for playing Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat, Deepika won the Best Actress (in the last 20 years award) for her film Chennai Express.

Now that’s calls for some investigation… Does it? About awards, once being interviewed by Shekhar Suman, actor Govinda was asked:

Why did you not win award?

He replied, “I did not manage to buy one either…” and both laughed their heads off. That cryptic comment said a lot about how these awards come about and how much networking is required to arrange one. Whether Ranveer and Deepika actually deserved to win or not, I cannot say as I have not seen either of the movies but must confess I am neither a fan of Ranveer nor of Deepika.

Ranveer is currently busy with a film on India’s historic victory at the 1983 cricket World Cup. He plays the role of former Indian skipper Kapil Dev. It also stars Deepika as Kapil’s wife, Romi.

The cast also includes Boman Irani, Saqib Saleem, Adinath Kothare, Chirag Patil, Harddy Sandhu, Ammy Virk, Jatin Sarna, Pankaj Tripathi, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Dinker Sharma, Jiiva, Sahil Khattar, Dhairya Karwa, Nishant Dahhiya and R Badree.

It is a Reliance Entertainment film to be released in April 2020, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
