I hadn't heard anything about this, good for her. Deepika Padukone working hard for her Hollywood debutDeepika Padukone has been sweating it out in the gym for her Hollywood debut, Vin Diesel-starrer 'XXX: The Return of Xander Cage,' with celebrity fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala on a new work out plan which kicked off in the first week of January. "She leaves for the shoot on February 2 and most of her portions will be filmed in Toronto and Los Angeles," reveals Yasmin who has one week left to prep up the actress. The latter is currently in Bangalore spending some time with her parents and sister before she goes for two months. Yasmin wishes she had three months to work on the actress who had earlier been doing a lot of pilates and functional training."Deepika needs to look tough like someone who is always ready for a fight and needs to gain more muscle. Our new workout plan involves a lot of functional strength training, starting with basic weight training," she says. Deepika has been training daily for an hour and will amp it up with more intense workouts upon her return. "She has already been pulling off 200 pounds for leg press, but there will be a lot more heavy weight training now, besides bosu (exercise routines involving a ball) and TRX suspension training," says Yasmin who is all praise for Deepika's passion. "She is an athlete and enjoys the workout." [..]

Nothing on a regular basis, no.  Just the Love Bollywood podcast, once a week. I must not have noticed it when they spoke of it.

I really wish Deepika and Priyanka would have picked better films to make their Hollywood debut. I mean 'XXX' and 'Baywatch', seriously?

"Xander Cage" is America's version of a Masala Movie. Dehpika does them sometimes (Happy New Year!). This will be her introduction to America. It will give her publicity. As for PC, seems like she's been a Baywatch fangirl since way back. Besides, she is playing a Villian, in a role originally written for a man. So maybe it won't be so bad. Even so, I basically agree with you. They both might have done better, especially PC. Dancelover I really wish Deepika and Priyanka would have picked better films to make their Hollywood debut.
