The conflicting rumours over the Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor liaison continue to provide rich fodder to gossip mills.

Nevertheless, another Kapoor has been seeking her saucy attention. Shammi Kapoor, that is! Padukone's bond with the veteran has been on excellent grounds, never mind her equation with Kapoor Jr.

"I was very thrilled when Shammiji messaged me on twitter asking me out for a coffee date," an elated Padukone told the media. "I didn't know because I was busy performing for the IPL opening ceremony. His name on twitter comes as Shamsher Raj and I didn't even know he was on the website."

"I've always been a big fan of Shammiji's," admits Padukone. "Once I complete my shooting, I will surely go out on my date with him. I'm eagerly looking forward to it, since I remember Shammiji as the 'Pan Parag' uncle and loved his 'Yahoo' song number from 'Junglee'."

Koffee With Kapoor, Padukone…

Romance got a twist of nostalgia from Aamir Khan, no less. AK recently shot a special segment with Shammi Kapoor, veteran of screen love, for a special segment on romance that he was crafting for the Cine Artiste Association.

"When Shammi Kapoor looked into the eyes of his heroine, every woman in the audience went weak in the knees", states Khan in a tabloid chat, " For me, he is the romantic icon and my personal favourite.

"For those who came in late, Khan's friendship with the thespian dates back to his childhood days, as SK was a regular in the flicks made by Nasir Hussain, and the duo were close pals. "It was Aamir's idea, "says a close source from the association. "He suggested that we should have a special section with an actor, speaking about romance and that the actor should be Shammi Kapoor only." Earlier, when association members contacted him, the ailing yesteryear star had swatted the decision citing ill health. But when Khan personally requested him, there was no way he was backing out of the decision.

Adds the insider,"Aamir will be performing the 'zoobie doobie' number from '3 Idiots'. He organised he whole shoot himself and shot the episode at Shammi Kapoor's house."

"One can always pick up a nuance or two when talking to such a legend," raves AK.

From one legend to another …..
