Though, Deepika and Katrina have become cordial with each other as we can see on their social media posts. They comment on each other's posts, wishes on birthdays, etc. But, back when they had a cold war between them, Deepika schooled a reporter for trolling Katrina Kaif's acting.

During a press conference in 2014, Deepika Padukone was asked her acting method and how she chooses her characters. Is it based on 'performance-driven' or is it a 'showpiece' one? So, when she asked the reporter to clarify the 'showpiece' part, he mentioned Katrina Kaif's performance in Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

Deepika immediately schooled that reporter by saying, "But according to her she has worked very hard no? Then how can you call her a showpiece."

The Chhapaak star further added, "I am just trying to say that the hard work and effort is still the same. Being a heroine is not easy, let me tell you that. It looks very glamorous and like a great life, but it's lot of hard work."

She even said she could not comment on other's choices, but she can speak for herself.

"People don't remember them because the film didn't do well. That's why we say the most important thing is for the film to do well. If a film does well, you remember the success and characters. So I have always selected my films like that and I try to do justice to those characters," she mentioned in the press conference.
