Not Om Shanti Om but THIS was Deepika Padukone’s first film
Global actor Deepika Padukone turned 38 today and wishes have been pouring in for the Indian actor from all corners of the world. In her 17 years of acting career, Deepika has added many feathers to her cap. She not only became the first Indian actor to become the house brand ambassador of international brands like Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Levis, Qatar Airways, etc. but has also won several Filmfare Best Actor awards for her appealing performances.
Ever since, Padukone walked out of the yellow taxi in the movie Om Shanti Om, donning a pink lehenga set with Ankho Me Teri song playing in the background, she took over hearts and won the tag of a queen. However, not everyone knows that Shah Rukh Khan starrer was not DP’s debut movie. But she acted in a Kannada film before working in Om Shanti Om as its director Farah Khan wanted Deepika to be aware of the entire process of working in a film, as Padukone was an outsider and had no film-set experience.
