I came to Mumbai for modelling: Deepika
In an interview, she said, 'I came to Mumbai for modelling. Atul Kasbekar (Photograph) was the first person who told my parents that I should come to Mumbai. Deepika further said, 'Farah was making 'Om Shanti Om' at that time and she needed a newcomer. She could have taken any established actress in the film, but she chose a newcomer. She saw all my advertisements and decided that I was perfect for this role. She did not even know me then. She saw me in advertisements and took the risk of casting me opposite Shahrukh.'
