The fourth day of the Wills Lifestyle Fashion Week belonged entirely to Deepika Padukone who seized the moment and left the audience gasping as she entered on stage for designers G Pia Fleming and Namrata Joshipura in a single strap pearl white gown. Which of the designers’ collections did she like the most? “Pia’s collection is girly, flowy with pastels and grey’s,” she said, “The mood for her show was very dreamy. Whereas Namrata’s stuff was stronger and higher on attitude.”
Deepika is also the brand ambassador for Fiamma di Wills, the sponsors of the show and was pleased to announce that their new gel soap bar has won the product of the year award. In happy mood, she was also pleased to comment on her new look after having her hair cut for Karthik Calling Karthik. “I am enjoying my new look and it feels great,” she confirmed, “As an actor it is very important to reinvent yourself. The change might not be important for you, but it definitely plays a pivotal role in getting closer to the character.”
Deepika is currently in Delhi working on Break Ke Baad, a comedy with Imran Khan and Sharmila Tagore. Last year, when she was in the same city shooting Love Aaj Kal with Saif Ali Khan, rumour has it that Kareena Kapoor demanded all Saif Ali Khan’s attention and Deepika felt excluded. Not this year. Avantika, Imran Khan’s fiancee, has gone out of her way to include Deeps. “During the shooting of Love Aaj Kal, Deepika barely exchanged anything beyond a hello with her co-star Saif in London and Delhi,” said a source, “But with Imran, Deepika is at her warmest, thanks to Avantika who has gone out of her way to make Deepika feel comfortable.”
