Deepika Padukone dropped out of college and became a Bollywood star thanks to Farah Khan

During that time, Deepika’s modeling mentor, Vandal, was the one who suggested the name Deepika to Malaika. When Farah found out about this, he cast Deepika in the film. By the way, Deepika and Farah’s first meeting was for Happy New Years. But for some reason this movie got postponed and Farah cast her for Om Shanti Om. (Photo credit: Deepika Padukone’s Instagram)
