Deepika Padukone surprised many when she walked the red carpet with a young bespectacled girl wearing a sparkling red dress. The girl named Prerna Maynil was later called on stage by Deepika herself and introduced as Deepika's special fan.
Prerna who hails from Dombivili couldn't believe that she had attended Filmfare with her idol, Deepika. The college going youth had tears in her eyes when she went on stage.
So how did lady luck smile on Prerna? Going back in time, Prerna recalls writing over 100 fan mails to Deepika which included traditional letters and tweets. All the effort finally translated into something substantial a few days back, when Prerna suddenly got a call from Deepika's team asking her to accompany the actress for the forthcoming award ceremony. A numb-struck Prerna could hardly believe her ears and was completely taken aback that she had been called to not just meet Deepika but accompany her to Filmfare as well. And finally when she met her idol, Prerna admits to being a nervous wreck.
“I was nervous initially but Deepika was so warm and friendly that all my apprehensions vanished. She has absolutely no airs.”
Deepika even did her hair, make-up and even chose the dress that Prerna finally wore for Filmfare.
Talking about the decision to call Prerna, Deepika says, “The intention was not to create a Cinderella moment or change someone’s life. I thought if I win, I’d like to call Prerna on stage as a representation of all my fans who have given me so much love.”
Well, we are sure with this selfless gesture, Dipz may have won a few more fans for herself.
