Himesh Reshammiya recalls launching Deepika Padukone, says he launched many girls but ‘no one became Deepika’: ‘She was star from day 1’

Years after appearing in the music video, Deepika reunited with Himesh on Indian Idol 11, where he was a judge and she appeared as a guest. During the show, Deepika expressed her gratitude to Himesh for giving her the opportunity and admitted that she knew nothing about shooting at the time.

“I knew nothing about shooting when I was shortlisted for the music video. I never went to a film set or knew how music videos are shot. Whatever I am doing today, I have learned it while filming the music video. Thank you, sir, for giving me this opportunity. You had faith in me when nobody else did,” Deepika said.

On the professional front, Himesh was last seen in Badass Ravikumar, while Deepika was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again.
