In Homi Adajania's new film Cocktail that's set to hit the marquee this Friday, Deepika Padukone plays Veronica D'Costa, a free-spirited 24-year-old, who lives in London with her introvert friend Meera.
As fiesty Veronica who belives in living in the moment, Deepika is at her hottest avatar as she flits in and out of frame in hip clothes and accessories.
We wonder if she fits the stereotype Christian women that Hindi movies love to show.

Kareena Kapoor
