When Deepika Padukone clarified she doesn’t have any rivalry with Priyanka Chopra

Earlier, while speaking to the Hindustan Times, Deepika Padukone talked about the kind of equation she shares with her contemporary actress, Priyanka Chopra. Reacting to constant speculations of sharing rivalry with her, Deepika remarked how it feels weird for her to listen to all of it, since she considers the two of them were never professional rivals. Talking more on the same, she said:

“I like the fact that you use the word ‘friend’, because that’s what she is to me. So, every time I read anything that doesn’t say that (we are friends), it really surprises me. I have always said that she is someone I’ve known for many years. I feel extremely awkward and weird when such comparisons are made, because I don’t even believe that we are professional rivals. We never were. So, why should we be now? She is doing amazing work in her own space. And what her work will require from her in terms of time and other commitments are different from what I am working towards or what I am doing.’
