During the school days of Deepika, Anila Anand - a close
friend of her parents and one of the leading model co-ordinator in Bangalore, her
daughter Kavya Anand was the class mate of Deepika, both the mothers used to go
to school every afternoon to pick their daughters up. It was this time when
Anila Anand used to suggest modelling as a career for Deepika. Having no ties
with the industry, Deepika’s mother asked Anila not to put such thoughts into
her head. However, being tailor-made for the glamour world, Deepika faced the camera
for the first time for her photoshoot back then with ace photographer Waseem
Khan. Deepika being shy and stiff, Waseem wasn’t able to get the desired
clicks. He then asked Deepika her favourite songs. Dancing to the tunes of
famous Madhuri Dixit numbers, Waseem clicked the graceful and ever smiling
Deepika Padukone capturing her in his lenses. These photos eventually landed
her few print assignments marking her entry into the industry right from a very
young age. However, she still continued in the field of sports as Badminton was
in her blood. It was 10th Std Board Exams which she was preparing for
during her 3 months’ school before appearing for her final exams, during this
time she played a tournament of Badminton like her Father. However, with the thought that probably she
doesn’t want to make a career in the sports arena. But if not this, then what. This
was the time when her passion for showbiz drew her to the industry of Fashion
and Modelling. Her first TV campaign was for Liril (Link below), this is when
Salman Khan happen to see the ad and who was casting for one of his film, was
looking out for a fresh face. However, Deepika felt she wasn’t ready to enter
the film world didn’t take up the offer. Destined to be in Bollywood, Deepika
again got a call from Farah Khan after few years who was casting for ‘Om Shanti
Om’ and post auditions, Deepika was finalised for a role opposite Shahrukh
Khan. Not to the knowledge of many,
Deepika made a special appearance for a Salman Khan film – Main aurr Mrs Khanna
(Link below). From being the choice of Salman to Shahrukh, and now a dream of
every actor to work with, Deepika has surely made the industry and audiences
drool over her performance making her presence felt at international waters
too. More power to the Mastani of Bollywood
who is not growing by just one X by XXX!
