Deepika Padukone can’t stop raving about her Chennai Express co-star Shahrukh Khan, but why? Deepika Padukone, who made her Bollywood debut opposite Shahrukh Khan in Om Shanti Om, says the superstar genuinely considers both genders equal. Shah Rukh recently announced that henceforth all his films will feature the heroine’s name first in the credits, and that has left Deepika even more impressed.

She is currently working with him in Chennai Express. “It’s a wonderful initiative taken to prove that men and women are equal in all fields and professions. The way he interacts with us during shooting clearly shows that he doesn’t differentiate. I’ve experienced that in Om Shanti Om and now while working with him on Chennai Express. Thank you SRK,” Deepika said in a statement.
