She had eyes only for Salman.<br /><br />Then in "Bachna Ae Haseenon", Deepika Padukone said a flat no to Ranbir'r proposal. And now in "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" Ranbir again wooes the girl with his one-sided attentions, almost playing Katrina Kaif's faithful poodle hanging around her unconditionally. <br />Raj Kumar Santoshi, who returns to comedy after 15 years, says he wanted Ranbir to play the unrequited lover-boy with a difference.<br /><br />"'Ajab Prem...is a film about unrequited love. I didn't want Ranbir to play the loser in love as a tragic hero.

He remains blindly devoted and besotted right till the end while Katrina just keeps taking him for granted."</p>
