Deepika: Heaven sent

Deepika Padukone had said that she loved to walk the ramp, but we didn’t realise that she loved it so much.
Deepika Padukone More PicsThe actress managed to walk the ramp wearing the showstopper for designers at both weeks – Rina Dhaka and Ranna Gill at the Fiama Di Wills show at WIFW, and at DFW earlier in the week. Displaying no signs of nerves before her second fashion stint this season, she dimples up when you ask her if she ever thought she’d come this far so fast. “It’s certainly a nice feeling to be walking the ramp at both the places as the showstopper. But I never felt sidelined even when I was just a model – and a debutante at that. For me, all that mattered was looking good and doing my best. And even today, I don’t consider myself a showstopper at all.” Not everyone disagreed – in the post show press con, when she was asked to comment on the dress that Deepika wore, Rina shot back, “You’re talking about the dress because Deepika wore it. It’s true that she put magic in it, but it was a nice dress anyway too.” And when another Deepika question popped up, Rina said, “Look, stars are stars because they’re exceptionally beautiful people. And when they walk the ramp for any fashion designer, everybody talks about them... unfortunately!”
