Deepika is the new Juliet?

 After Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s comment that no married woman could be his Juliet, and Kareena Kapoor walking out of the movie citing contractual differences, the role of the legendary lover in his Ram Leela was up for grabs. Apparently, Bhansali wanted Priyanka Chopra and later Katrina Kaif to play the role. But as the role supposedly was about a character who was fair, Kat was preferred. But she didn’t have the dates. As Deepika Padukone had the dates, SLB was more than happy to have the Cocktail girl play his Juliet.
