Deepika
Padukone
If
you'all
are
going
gaga
over
the
current
achievements
of
Deepika,
then
you
must
look
back
to
see,
how
Deepika
Padukone
used
to
look
in
her
debut
film
and
made
the
nation
crazy,
with
her
sharp
features.
Om
Shanti
Om
Was
Not
Her
Debut
Film
In
2006,
Deepika
Padukone
signed
her
first
film
‘Aishwarya'
which
was
a
Kannada
film,
in
which
she
played
the
titular
role.
Post
that,
Deepika
signed
Farah
Khan's
Om
Shanti
Om.
Why
Farah
Casted
Deepika
Not
many
of
you
would
know
that
Farah
loved
Deepika
in
Himesh
Reshammiya's
music
video,
Naam
Tera
Tera
and
then
she
decided
to
rope
in
her
in
Om
Shanti
Om
opposite
Shahrukh
Khan.
She
Was
Supposed
To
Debut
In
SLB's
Saawariya
Reportedly
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
had
shortlisted
Deepika
for
his
film
Saawariya.
However,
later,
he
decided
to
go
with
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Sonam
Kapoor.
Interestingly,
Deepika's
Bollywood
debut
film
‘Om
Shanti
Om' released
on
the
same
day
as
Saawariya
and
it
fared
better
than
Saawariya.
Did
You
Know?
Did
you
know
that
before
entering
Bollywood,
she
has
been
a
student
of
Anupam
Kher's
acting
school
and
the
man
behind
her
sensuous
dance
moves
is
none
other
than
dance
maestro
Shiamak
Davar.
Fortune’s
Favourite
Child
We
won't
be
wrong
if
we
say
that
Deepika
is
the
fortune's
favourite
child.
Deepika
made
her
Bollywood
debut
opposite
Shahrukh
Khan
and
it
did
well.
With
her
tall
&
perfect
figure,
she
left
many
guys
in
awe!
SRK's
On
Deepika
A
few
years
ago,
during
the
promotion
of
Happy
New
Year,
Shahrukh
didn't
hesitate
to
praise
Deepika
and
had
told,
"She
has
paved
the
way
for
her
own
success
and
that
she
always
had
it
in
her
to
be
a
'star'."
Big
B's
First
Reaction
On
Seeing
Deepika
In
OSO
SRK
had
also
revealed
an
interesting
story,
"I
think
Deepika
was
always
a
star.
Since
she
was
new,
we
did
the
'Aankhon
mein
teri'
song
and
we
showed
it
to
Amitji
(Amitabh
Bachchan).
He
said,
'She
is
a
very
huge
star'.
She
was
a
supermodel
at
that
time,
so
it's
not
something
we
(Farah
and
I)
have
done."
'She
Has
Made
Wonderful
Choices'
"I
haven't
worked
with
her
for
seven
years,
but
I
think
she
has
it
all.
As
a
friend,
I
told
her
that
'Always
do
a
film
where
you
feel
comfortable
with
the
people
around'.
She
has
made
wonderful
choices
--
whether
it's
'Cocktail'
or
'Finding
Fanny'.
She
has
chosen
some
highly
commercial
films
too;
she
has
made
the
right
choices," he
said.
Deepika
On
Working
With
SRK
In
OSO
During
the
promotion
of
OSO,
Deepika
had
mentioned
how
SRK
helped
her
throughout
the
shooting
and
had
said,
"He
never
made
me
uncomfortable...
never
...
he
would
sit
with
me
before
every
scene...
and
do
my
lines
with
me."
Deepika
Was
Initially
Scared
To
Meet
SRK
Deepika
said,
"I
was
really
scared
to
meet
him
that
first
time.
Farah
took
me
to
meet
Shahrukh
to
his
home
in
Mumbai.
The
first
time
I
went
to
meet
him,
I
was
dressed
like
a
Yash
Chopra
heroine,
in
a
white
shalwar
kameez,
because
that
was
the
impression
I
had:
to
be
a
successful
actress
in
Bollywood,
you
had
to
have
blow
dried
straight
hair
and
wear
a
white
suit."
Deepika's
First
Meeting
With
Shahrukh
Khan
"I
(Deepika
Padukone)
remember
the
first
time,
the
gates
to
Mannat
opened
and
Farah
took
me
to
meet
him.
I'll
never
forget
that
visual
in
my
head.
I
didn't
know
any
better
about
how
to
deal
with
these
relationships
that
we
had
built
over
a
period
of
time."
'I've
Become
More
Comfortable'
"But
now,
today,
I
understand
what
they
meant
back
then.
I
have
also
become
more
comfortable,
I
have
also
realised
that
relationships
are
very,
very
important.
So
today,
I
use
that
offer,
if
I
may
say
so." Deepika
had
told
a
leading
daily.
For
Deepika,
SRK
Is
A
Gentleman
No
wonder
Shahrukh
Khan
is
always
referred
to
as
a
'Gentleman'!
Her
first
meeting
with
him,
says
everything,
doesn't
it?
Deepika
and
SRK
have
worked
in
films
like
Om
Shanti
Om,
Chennai
Express
and
their
latest
release
was
Farah's
Happy
New
Year.
Cheers
to
their
bonding!
