Deepika Padukone made a smashing debut with Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Deepika entered the industry as an outsider and has managed to rule it in just a decade.
From Om Shanti Om to now Padmavati, Deepika has essayed a number of roles which also makes her one of the most versatile actresses we have today.
Farah, who directed Deepika in her first movie, is a proud mentor and couldn't contain her happiness seeing Padukone fly so high.
When asked about her thoughts on Deepika completing a decade in the industry, Farah said, "We [Deepika Padukone and Farah] were discussing the same in Alibaug when we met [during Shah Rukh Khan's pre-birthday bash]. I was telling her that it will be her 10th birthday this year."
She further added, "I am very proud of her. From being from a completely non-filmy background to not knowing acting to becoming the topmost heroine of the country and a fabulous actor. It is not just that she is an actress but also a commercial heroine. I think she can dance, look glamorous and also act and a very few people have that. She has managed her career extremely well and I am very very proud of her."
Deepika will next be seen in Padmavati which is helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Quiz Farah if she has seen the trailer and the answer is negative. "I have been busy with my shows of late but now I will be catching up on all the movies."
