When DeGeneres said, “There is a romance going on, that’s what you would get from that as well... Look at that face! Does that mean there is?” Deepika responded: “Well, there is no smoke without fire!”  

“But, it’s all in my head! So yeah, I mean in my head I think, like yeah, we are together and we have this amazing chemistry, and we live together and we have these amazing babies! But it’s all in my head.” 

The episode featuring Deepika, who wore a classy and subtle white dress to the show, will air in the US on Wednesday and in India on Thursday. 

The Bajirao Mastani actress appeared on the TV show to talk about her Hollywood debut project xXx: Return of Xander Cage. The film has released in India before the US, and received a mixed response. 

She said: “I actually auditioned for Furious 7 about two or three years ago and for whatever reason that didn’t work out. About a year ago, I get a call from Paramount saying that they are casting for this film and I flew down and met DJ Caruso, and then Vin found out in Los Angeles that I was in Toronto. So overnight, luckily I had a visa, and he said, ‘I want her to come and see me’. So,  I flew down from Toronto to Los Angeles to see Vin and  that night we are doing this 45 minute photo-shoot. —IANS
