By Laila Rao


Former Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar model and actor Deepika Padukone has been grabbing headlines for her eye-catching appearance at the recent GQ Men of the Year Awards. Born in Denmark, Deepika was an established model before Farah Khan selected her to star opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the 2007 blockbuster Om Shanti Om.

Recently, she was also spotted attending Big B's 70th birthday bash wearing a black ethnic anarkali and a traditional bindi, perfecting the traditional Indian look. Deepika is known to have a great sense of fashion and has always put her best foot forward with utmost oomph and grace. Big B's birthday bash saw some significant dignitaries from the film fraternity; including the Kapoor family and faces like Vinod Khanna, Jeetendra, Yash Chopra, Karan Johar, Shahrukh Khan with wife Gauri, Farhan Akhtar, Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi. The event was also graced by business giants - the Ambanis. The night was a star studded one as everyone dropped by to wish Amitabh Bachchan a happy birthday and join the celebration. Deepika's first movie with Big B was Aarakshan, where she played his daughter.

Directed by Prakash Jha, the film is a socio-political drama based on the controversial policy of caste based reservations. Apart from being Amitabh's big fan, Deepika is glad that she got the opportunity to don the role of his daughter. Talking about her experience with Mr. Bachchan, Deepika stated, "Once you play father and daughter in a film (as they did in Aarakshan), you always share a bond for life. I remember the first guests at my new flat were Jayaji and Amitji. Jayaji spoke to me about my film and told me that I reminded her of her daughter.

Deepika was very touched with the presence of Amitabh & Jaya Bachchan at her house warming party. She considers herself very fortunate to have been given the chance to work with Mr. Bachchan. Talking about her experience she further elaborated saying, "He (Amitabh Bachchan) made me very, very comfortable.

Really, it is indeed a big deal to be actually looking into his eyes and mouthing your dialogues. Trust me, it isn't easy." Though nervous about sharing screen-space alongside Mr. Bachchan, Deepika Padukone managed to pull off her role in the film extremely well. The two actors have been known to share a special bond ever since the film. Directed by Prakash Jha, the film had Amitabh Bachchan play Dr. Prabhakar Anand while Deepika Padukone starred as his daughter, Poorbi.
