The Making of a Star: How Farah Khan Sculpted Deepika Padukone for Om Shanti Om
While talking to Dia Mirza, Farah Khan spoke about the training she gave Deepika Padukone to ace her debut acting role in Om Shanti Om with Shah Rukh Khan.
When Deepika Padukone walked down the crimson carpet in her iconic
crimson lehenga in Om Shanti Om, a celebrity became undeniably born. Her debut
as Shanti Priya in 2007 is one of the biggest hits on Bollywood records.
While her screen presence
was considered effortless swish, director Farah Khan recently revealed the
intense, meticulous grooming process that shaped the budding silver screen diva.
A rigorous training regime
Choreographer and
filmmaker Farah Khan opened up about her palms-up approach to preparing Deepika
for her debut film through a segment of her famous YouTube cooking vlog Here
comes this revelation just as she became actor Dai Mirza’s chef, with Mirza quickly
talking about how she won her share from Honce first. 2000s, remember being
quickly thrown into big 28hour work days with zero training or workshops
beforehand.
It was at this point
that Khan reversed his own defensive strategies. “Deepika, I have been worried
a lot about you,” she said, turning to the former reservist while looking at
the digicam once. Farah explained the extensive plan she launched to transform
Deepika from publication to elegant artist. "Pehle Toh Maine use 3-4
mahine Anupam Kher ki classes Mein bheja, fir maine usse Kathak classes Mein
bheja (First, I sent her to Anupam Kher's classes for 3 to 4 months. After
that, I enrolled her in kathak classes). We studied so many exams.
Learning Through Narrative Observation
In addition to
formal instructions, Farah’s most critical and unusual turnover delayed the
lamp’s timing of the eclipse. Instead of pushing her to stay in front of a
digital camera from day one, the director deliberately pushed the shoot of
returned newcomer over the course of 10 days but this time was changed to not
specific as holiday. Farah instructed Deepika to be on the sets of a very
special mission one day: no doubt soaking up the ecosystem by watching her
co-stars.
"I told her,
'For the first 10 days, just come on set and just be on set, see how Shah Rukh
Khan runs, how Shreyas Talpade works. Just come and sit there every day,'"
projected Main Hoon Na Helmer.
As a note, this
masterclass allowed Deepika to witness the professionalism and craftsmanship of
a longtime celebrity like Shah Rukh Khan before shooting her own scenes The
care and precision Farah put into this foundation clearly paid off. Om Shanti
Om became a big industrial film and cemented Deepika’s career as a powerful
talent, proving that the combination of grounded education and set-on-set
immersion created the perfect launch pad for a star.
