Deepika's fans make their ramp debut
Deepika
recently launched a clothing line with Van Heusen and the brand wanted
to put together a fashion show for her collection.
The brand was keen to have top models walking the ramp for the show..
However Deepika suggested that rather than models, her fans should get this opportunity.
The team then
chose 10 female fans of Deepika from across the country to walk the
ramp. It was a random pick and her fans from different cities will be
all flown in. Deepika would spend time, interact and groom them.
Deepika has worked around her schedule, she is shooting night to ensure she can personally groom these girls.
Deepika is keen for them to taste
of what it’s like being a professional model,. They will undergo
rehearsals, make up, grooming, trials and everything else before they
hit the ramp.
Since the ace
actress herself believed in this idea, she took full responsibility of
grooming the girls who would be walking the ramp for the very first
time.
Says Deepika
“I thought it would be interesting to pick girls who identify with the
way I dress. We haven’t selected them on the basis of their looks,
height or whether they are experienced models. It was a random pick from
the entries we had,”
“I will try to
make it as memorable and special for them. I will spend time with them,
chat and groom them so that they go back with great memories,” says
Deepika,
