Though she has an experience of working with big guns like Shahrukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and now Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone is sharing screen space with the biggest of them all - Amitabh Bachchan - for the first time in 'Aarakshan'. While it was pretty much expected from Bachchan to easily familiarise himself with Deepika, for the leggy beauty there were a few nervous moments before she managed to settle down.

"Yeah, I can't forget my first on-the-sets moment with Mr. Bachchan", says Deepika in the tone of a true star struck fan, "Though I have met him socially, this was the first time we were together on the same sets."

Of course all was eventually well as the two, who have never worked before, started exchanging notes about their other films. Deepika admits though that there was no conscious effort on her part to do anything extraordinary to make herself comfortable with the senior actor.

"I guess the kind of scenes we have in the film are such that they automatically helped us connect. Since I am playing his daughter in 'Aarakshan', it only helped further. Thankfully I could get over my nervous pangs soon", smiles Deepika.

She now has her eyes set on 12th August, the D-day when this Prakash Jha film releases all over.
