Before making her Bollywood debut with Om Shanti Om, Deepika Padukone starred in the music video “Naam Hai Tera” by Himesh Reshammiya. Even after all these years, the musician-actor still remembers her as a ‘remarkable woman’ and a born star.
In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Himesh recalled working with Deepika and how she stood apart from others he introduced. “We launched many other girls, but they didn’t become Deepika Padukone. That’s all her,” he said.
He praised her screen presence, dedication, and work ethic. The singer-actor feels that she had all the qualities of a star from the start.
