Deepika Padukone knows what suits her perfect and doesn't go wrong when it comes to her character. Well something like that happened during the casting of Cocktail.
According to a unit hand, the role of Meera, a simple Indian girl with traditional values, played by Diana was earlier offered to Deepika Padukone. After going through the character, Deepika Padukone realized that she won't fit for the role of Meera. She showed interest in playing Veronica's role instead. Veronica is a girl who lives life on the wild side.
After discussion with director Homi Adajania, Deepika Padukone opted for Veronica's role. Thereby Meera's role went to Diana who was supposed to make her debut opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar.
Hope Deepika Padukone's decision turns out right for her.
