We heard a sataaaak, and then there was dead silence on the floor. Our jaws dropped, as we gaped at Deepika slapping a zoOm anchor. 

 

And then the silence was broken with cacophony of giggles and laughter, as zoOm launched its new show, 'indiatimes STAR CHITCHAT'. But first let's tell you about the lovely Ms.Dee's act of violence. Apparently, the anchor of the show, Vivaan, had worked with Deepika in Karthik Calling Karthik, and the actress shared a little trivia about her first interaction with him. And yes, it all started with a thappad. 

 

"My first shot for the film was with Vivaan and I had to slap him in that scene," she explained. She went on to say, "Since it's the first episode of this show, I'll begin with slapping Vivaan." Of course, this one was only for good-luck, and thankfully, there was no retake either. As the show went on, our phone lines didn't stop ringing, as calls poured-in from across the country. Deepika sweetly answered every call and even promised to meet some of her fans. 

 

Catch Deepika on the first episode of indiatimes STAR CHITCHAT, this Monday, Nov 28 at 9.30 pm only on zoOm - India's No 1 Bollywood channel.
