I hope Deepika gets me ork at RK Films!

Call it a rishta by satellite. But prolific filmmaker Kalpana Lajmi is related to Deepika Padukone.
‘We’re both descendents of the great Guru Dutt. Deepika and I are Saraswat Brahmins. Her family and mine can be traced back to Kashmir. We’re basically evicted Kashmiri Pundits who migrated to Bangalore.
If you remember my uncle Guru Dutt(who was my mother painter Lalita Lajmi’s brother) and Deepika’s father Prakash Padukone are both settled in Bangalore.
Deepika is definitely related to me. Though she doesn’t know it. But I hope she knows about me’
And now Kalpana has a script ready for Deepika. ‘I saw her in Om Shanti Om and Bachna Ae Haseenon and found her to possess that old-world grace which came naturally to Madhuri and Aishwarya.
I don’t think any other girl today has that quality.I was once planning to cast Aishwarya as a politician in Singhasan. I’d love to cast Deepika in that role.’
Kalpana isn’t sure Deepika would reciprocrate her enthusiasm. ‘Why should she ? I’m a down-and-out filmmaker.
