I owe my standing in Bollywood to Karan Johar: Deepika




Mumbai, May 23 (PTI) Actress Deepika Padukone, who would be seen in Karan Johar's forthcoming home production 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani', has credited the filmmaker for the standing that she has in the film industry today. "I remember meeting Karan when I was doing 'Om Shanti Om'. They (Shahrukh Khan and Farah Khan) introduced me to him and I remember how warm he was towards me, the kind of encouragement he gave me when I was in the industry...I think it is because of people like him, why I am here today," Deepika said. 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani' is a romantic film directed by Ayan Mukerji under Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. The film brings back hit pair Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika in lead roles. This is their second film together after 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'.

On, whether she would be attending Karan's birthday party on May 25, Deepika said, "Yes I would be going. It is like a big event in our calendar...everyone is planning about it for a long time, who is wearing what. He is someone I am extremely fond of. I think it is his energy, the minute you are with him he makes you feel light hearted and happy, " Deepika told reporters here last night. Karan's birthday bash is being hosted at a five-star hotel in the city by famous fashion designer Manish Malhotra, where a lot of Bollywood actors including Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan have been invited.
