Happy Birthday Deepika Padukone: Did You Know The Actress Was Meant To Make Her Debut With Saawariya? Here Are 10 EXCLUSIVE Unknown Facts About Her
Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone turned a year older and is celebrating her birthday today. Social media has been flooded with birthday posts for the actress, and her friends and colleagues from the film industry also wished the lovely actress. On this occasion, let’s take a look at 10 unknown facts about her. We bet you didn’t know all of these! Take a look.

1. She is related to the legendary filmmaker Guru Dutt whose real name was Vasanth Padukone.

2. Her voice which was the highlight of her performance in Chennai Express was dubbed in her debut film Om Shanti Om. Director Farah Khan couldn’t see eye to eye with Deepika(so much so that Deepika didn’t even visit Farah when her triplets were born).Sources say Farah took revenge by getting someone else to speak for Deepika in her debut film.

3. Deepika was originally supposed to make her debut in Priydarshan’s Pirate about musical piracy .She was to be cast a member of a rock band.That film never got made.

4. She was meant to make her debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya. But Bhansali decided to go with the ‘Anil Kapoor’s Daughter & Rishi Kapoor’s Son’ formula and signed Sonam and Ranbir instead. Ultimately, Deepika’s debut film released on the same day as Saawariya, thereby creating an ongoing  rivalry between the two ladies that hasn’t gone away as yet.

5. Deepika played a  double role in her first film On Shanti Om and then again in the disastrous Chandni Chowk To China with Akshay Kumar. Two double roles in the first one year of her career. Not bad ! By the way, Akshay was not lucky for either Deepika(Chandni Chowk)  or Farah Khan(Tees MaarKhan).

6. Deepika has a sister Anisha who is a golf champ. Deepika loves outdoor sports. If Deepika had not been an actress she would have been a badminton player just like her champ-dad Prakash Padukone whom she hero-worships.
 
7. Ranveer and Deepika   have a  near-perfect marriage at  a time when even the most solid relationships  are going  Kaput.

8. Before she came into the film industry Deepika was in a relationship with wannabe actor Nihar Pandya whom she left under very dramatic circumstances when she got involved with Ranbir Kapoor. In fact Pandya was to star in a  film based on his relationship with Deepika. Luckily that idea remained unfulfilled.

9. Deepika has never been paired with Salman Khan. Her proximity to Shah Rukh Khan is said to be the reason.

10. She isn’t spontaneously friendly, has to work on getting it right and according to a close friend, doesn’t trust easily.
