Did Deepika really advice Katrina Kaif not to marry Ranbir Kapoor?

Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone is upset about the rumours of her statement with regards to Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor’s engagement.

Business of Cinema states two versions of the story that were making news in the industry.

First, it all started at a recent award show where Deepika was asked to be a part of a hilarious behind the scenes video, to which the actress agreed happily and answered all the questions spontaneously that were shot at her. Earlier the reports were that Deepika was asked what advice she would give to Katrina Kaif to which the diva rapidly replied, “Don’t marry Ranbir Kapoor”.

The second story goes like this,  during the shoot of behind the scenes video, there were few card board cut outs with different Bollywood celebrity’s face printed on it, Deepika Padukone was asked to pick a card board piece and mention what would she do if she was them. To everybody’s shock, Deepika picked Katrina’s picture cut out and said, “If I was Katrina Kaif, I would marry Ranbir Kapoor.”

India's trade deficit with China rose to $37.8 billion in 2014

BEIJING: India's trade deficit with China rose to a whopping USD 37.8 billion last year even as bilateral trade picked up, totalling USD 70.59 billion, a year on year increase of 7.9 per cent. 

According to annual figures released by China's General Administration of Customs (GAC), the total trade volume went to USD 70.59 billion from last year's USD 65.57, an increase of USD 5.02 billion amid increasing Chinese exports to India. 

India-China trade hit all time high of USD 73.9 billion in 2011 but declined to USD 66.57 billion in 2012 and USD 65.49 billion in 2013. 

As per the figures released by Chinese customs, the bilateral trade increased by 7.9 per cent, halting the decline in the last two years. 

But India's trade deficit woes continued as it mounted as high as USD 37.8 billion, making it very difficult to bridge the gap. The leadership of the two countries have fixed a trade target of USD 100 billion for this year. 

Chinese exports to India surged to USD 54.2 billion, posting a 12 per cent increase while Indian exports to China decelerated to USD 16.4 billion, a decline of 3.5 per cent. Indian exports totalled to USD 17.04 billion in 2013. 

While the trade has increased between the two countries becoming a binding factor in improving relations, the ever- widening deficit has become a major stumbling block, especially for India, whose exports were hit by depreciating rupee and also by declining exports of iron ore which previously was the main stay of Indian exports. 

India and China are in talks to step up cooperation in plans to modernise Indian Railways which could further increase Chinese investments in the country.

 

China is also keen to market its high-speed railway technology in India and has committed to do a feasibility study this year for Delhi-Chennai corridor.
