Dimpled Deepika





Cover StoryIndian film industry has so many beautiful faces. And among these is Deepika, the dimpled beauty who became a star overnight post Om Shanti Om. The dusky beauty has everything in her to be called a successful actress; the charisma, elegance, and above all, the dove eyes. Her acting talent is no less, of course.
Deepika made her acting debut in 2006 with the Kannada film Aishwarya. The following year, she made her Hindi film debut with the blockbuster Om Shanti Om which earned her the Filmfare Best
Female Debut Award.
Deepika pursued modeling as her career when she was in college. Her ravishing looks and perfect figure earned her Model of the Year award at the fifth annual Kingfisher Fashion Awards. Shortly afterward, she was chosen as one of the models for the Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar for 2006 and won two trophies at the Idea Zee Fashion Awards: "Female Model of the Year - (Commercial Assignments)" and "Fresh Face
of the Year".
While talking about her being selected as the heroine of Om Shanti Om, she says, “When Farah was casting for ‘Happy New Year’, she saw my commercials on TV and called my agent. I met her when she was rehearsing at a dance hall in Juhu. When that film didn’t happen, she offered me OSO. Farah took care of me right from the first meeting, introducing me to Shah Rukh Khan and ensuring that I was comfortable with him. Six months prior to shooting, we frequently met up for lunches and dinners.”
Working with Shah Rukh was a whole new experience, she said. “He makes everyone feel comfortable. There were days when we would sit down and rehearse for important scenes. If there were difficult scenes for me, he would take time out and practice my lines with me even when he wasn’t required on the sets. He would stay till I finished the shot and leave only after it was okayed,” she said.
Other than her good looks and post Om Shanti Om fame, there is another thing that brings Deepika a lot of publicity – her on and off relationship with Ranbir Kapoor. Though the two love birds are no more together, media is continuously trying to make a sensational story out of this broken bond.
After her split with Ranbir, Deepika’s name is being associated with Farhan Khan whom she works with in Karthik Calling Karthik. But it seems that for Deepika nothing matters as she is never found negating the stories about her relationship with Farhan.
And latest news is that Deepika will star
opposite Ranbir’s closest friend Imran Khan in a film being produced by Kunal Kohli. The film is the directorial debut of Danish Aslam, Kunal's assistant.
A source says, “Post her breakup with Ranbir, Deepika is taking on more and more assignments to keep herself busy. She now wants to focus on her career and make all the right moves. She has signed films with Ashutosh Gowariker and Yash Raj Films. Danish’s film is another big film in her kitty. Deepika is very excited about it. She chose to sign the film despite Imran being Ranbir’s close friend as she has moved on. She doesn’t want to mix her personal life with her professional life.”
But for her fans, it does not matter whether she breaks up or patches-up with anyone else. They adore her for her magnetic personality and dimpled smile.
