If "Race 2" saw her portraying a sensuous look, in "Cocktail" she was presented as the carefree modern girl, while "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" saw her as nerd. The actress said that her different looks have a lot to do with the story and the character she plays.
"It is not about whether I have a say or not. It all depends on the character I am playing. I could not have dressed like this (as a traditional in 'Chennai Express') in 'Race', in 'Cocktail' or 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'. I do have sessions with my stylist and my director. It is not a conscious decision to look different," Deepika told IANS in a group interview.
