Deepika: SRK doesn't differentiate between genders

New Delhi: Actress Deepika Padukone, who made her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 'Om Shanti Om', says the superstar genuinely considers both genders equal.

Shah Rukh recently announced that henceforth all his films will feature the actress' name first in the credits, and that has left Deepika even more impressed.

Deepika is currently working with Shah Rukh Khan in 'Chennai Express'.

"It's a wonderful initiative taken to prove that men and women are equal in all fields and professions. The way he interacts with us during shooting clearly shows that he doesn't differentiate. I've experienced that in 'Om Shanti Om' and now on 'Chennai Express. Thank you Shah," Deepika said in a statement.
