Deepika Padukone may have earned a new fan in former Indian Skipper Saurav Ganguly.

Sourav Ganguly, the new president of the Cricket Association of Bengal is roped in as the brand ambassador of Senco Gold.

On a recently launched event pertaining to the brand, Sourav was directed with a question on Deepika who herself had previously endorsed the brand in the past.

While commenting on Deepika, he instantly took reference to her last release and said, "I have watched Piku and it is as beautiful a film as Deepika Padukone is in real life."

The Prince of Kolkata, famously known as 'Dada' held a great curiosity for the film which has majorly been shot in his Hometown Kolkata.

So much so that, Sourav even dropped by on the sets of Piku with wife Dona in tow.

The cricketer watched the film a few months ago and was left praising Deepika's acting which was enhanced by her beauty.

Seems like Deepika is making a strong fan base in Kolkata.

The actor is now busy with Tamasha followed by Bajirao Mastani.
