Mom-to-be Deepika Padukone is expecting her first child with Ranveer Singh in September this year. Deepika, who is currently embracing her pregnancy phase, dated Ranveer for over six years before their marriage. The actress was once asked to admit that she was dating Ranveer during her appearance on a show. Priyanka Chopra came in support of her Bajirao Mastani co-star’s right to protect her relationship with Ranveer.
Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra appeared on the fourth season of Koffee With Karan. In the episode, filmmaker Karan Johar, who hosts the show, pointed out to Deepika that she is dating Ranveer but doesn’t want to talk about it. The Padmaavat actress flashed her million-dollar smile while keeping her relationship under wraps.
KJo then remarked how a lot of people don’t admit that they are dating. Answering his question, Priyanka said, “Because some people like to keep it private. Some people don’t want to become a dinner table conversation.”
“I am not offending her but I mean she has a right. If 90 per cent of her life is for public, 10 per cent needs to be hers,” she added. Deepika continued smiling while looking at PeeCee.
The show host went on to ask Priyanka if she knew about Deepika dating Ranveer, the Barfi actress responded to him by saying that she didn’t want to comment on it. The global star added that it is Deepika’s “business”.
Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone worked together in Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela in 2013 and Bajirao Mastani in 2015. The 2013 film starred Deepika and Ranveer as leads and Priyanka made a special appearance in the song, Ram Chahe Leela.
The 2015 historical romance starred the trio, Ranveer, Deepika, and Priyanka. While Ranveer played the role of Maratha warrior Peshwa Bajirao, Priyanka was cast as his first wife, Kashibai. Deepika essayed the role of his second wife, Mastani.
On the personal front, Deepika and Ranveer announced their pregnancy on Instagram in February this year. The couple tied the knot on November 14, 2018, in Lake Como, Italy. Coming back to Priyanka supporting Deepika on the show, it truly sets friendship goals for all the women out there.
Although there’s were plans for a sequel to the cult classic 1988 horror comedy Beetlejuice, the idea didn’t materialize until over three decades. Despite the huge time gap, director Tim Burton didn’t watch the original film to jog his memory before working on the sequel.
The director didn’t need a deep dive into the source material to come up with ideas for the sequel which was to take place 35 years after the Beetlejuice events. “I wasn’t out to do a big sequel for money or anything like that, I wanted to make this for very personal reasons,” he told Variety. “I didn’t watch the first movie to prepare for this. I remembered the spirit of it and I remembered everybody here,” he added.
The critically acclaimed director stressed that he never intended to make a sequel just for the sake of it but was looking for a way to connect with it naturally. Burton admitted to being “lost” at some point in his life and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice became a source to “reenergizing” his spirits and getting back to the things he loves doing, the way he loves doing it and with the people he loves.

Despite recreating the haunting world of Beetlejuice in a technologically advanced world, Burton opted to stick to the original approach and use practical effects as opposed to CGI. “It was great. That’s what gave the film its energy,” he told Collider.
The set demanded new stuff everyday which was difficult with live effects but not impossible. The director had an “effects team” who would make these things very quickly. He pointed out that the approach was really crucial in bringing out the energy, spontaneity and fun of filmmaking.
“We just wanted to kind of not think about ‘sequel’ or [franchise], anything, just go and just make the movie,” Burton added. The highly anticipated Beetlejuice sequel brought original characters Michael Keaton’s Beetlejuice, Catherine O’Hara’s Delia, and Winona Ryder’s Lydia, joined by newcomers like Jenna Ortega as Astrid Deetz.
Astrid, the rebellious daughter of Lydia, ignores her mother’s warning and summons Beetlejuice by taking his name three times. The Ghost with the Most comes back into the lives of the Deetz family to wreak havoc! Rest will unfold when the film releases on September 6.
