Deepika Padukone Looks for Personality Not Looks in Men

Been there, done that, seems to be Deepika Padukone’s experience with men. Not divulging about her relationship status with boyfriend Siddartha Mallya, she prefers to talk about how she looks for overall personality in the opposite sex rather than just good looks. Says Deepika, “Personality first for sure, matters more than looks. There are so many men who I have seen and thought that they are so good looking, but when you go up to them and the minute they open their mouth it is like ‘okay thank you, never mind. I shouldn’t have spoken in the first place.’ But it is really ones personality that stands out. And I am not even talking about intelligence here.”

Deepika explains that there is a reason why she likes to keep her relationship status a secret. “I do feel that when you are in the industry, it is very difficult for two actors to be in a relationship. Insecurities, constant traveling, and hectic schedules — it gets very difficult to keep up with it. Also if the guy and girl are somewhere in the same level, competition also comes in. It’s a very tricky territory. “I do agree that it was a mistake talking about my relationship in public. Today also because whatever you do is written about and publicized everywhere, whether it is a dinner or your flying out somewhere, everything is talked about.”

She hints at how the media did play a role in her relationship with Ranbir breaking off. “When Ranbir and I were seeing each other and there was so much buzz about the two of us being together that somewhere we said that let’s just talk about it because there really was nothing to hide. But when we came out clean, so much was being written and said all the time, whether we went out, fought or didn’t, his parents said something, my family did something, and a lot of it was created and that causes a lot of stress on a couple and their relationship and it is unnecessary.”
