While Deepika chose acting as her profession, younger sister Alisha is a professional golfer. "My sister is five years younger to me. I sometimes envy my sister. She has gone into sports, like my father. And she gets to play golf professionally. That's a unique position for a 19-year-old to be in. Acting seems rather ordinary in comparison." But Deeepika's sister has also got an offer to act in a Kannada film recently. "That's right, she has been offered a Kannada film. But she's absolutely not interested in a film career. One actress in the family is enough," she laughed. So what's the one role that's on Deepika's wish list? "I'd love to do a sports film. Not necessarily my dad's game badminton but any sport except cricket. I feel too much priority is given to cricket in our country. I'm so glad that films on other sports like hockey and football are being made. I'd love to do a film based on badminton." But unconventional roles are surely coming Deepika's way without asking. "When I was told that in Bachna Ae Haseeno I had to play an Indian cab driver in Australia who doesn't believe in marriage, I said I had to do this even if there were two other girls in the story. Luckily for me I got along like a house on fire with Bipasha Basu and Minissha Lamba. Even if I hadn't, I'd still have enjoyed doing the role thoroughly. And not because Ranbir was in it," she said. The actress will be seen next in Chandni Chowk to China with Akshay Kumar.
