Sabyasachi Mukherji's pens down a heart warming friendship memoir for Deepika Padukone

He has accounted the first time they met and what made them the friends they are today

.

Deepika Padukone was 'The Sabyasachi Bride' and she brought to life the wonderful storytelling, Sabyasachi's ensembles create. Her poise and panache were in perfect blend with the colors and patterns in Sabya's palette and wow!! she looked just breathtakingly beautiful all throughout the wedding. 

Deepika and Sabyasachi's friendship is something we never heard of in detail till now. Recently, the ace designer penned down a wonderful memoir of his journey of friendship with Deepika and it's as stunning as the diva herself. In the about me section of her website, Deepika had this heart melting note from Sabyasachi. 

As the ace designer pens down on her website," Summer of 2005. Backstage. At Fashion Week, New Delhi. A gaggle of girls were sitting and chatting, laughing animatedly. At one corner sat a lanky girl, oblivious to the commotion around her. Almost with meditative professionalism. “Ah, so that is Prakash Padukone’s daughter,” I whispered to my choreographer. I was a huge fan of her father. I still am. I guess we both were loners and didn’t end up speaking to each other.

‘Nair Sisters’ was the name of the collection and the girls were supposed to be channeling nerdy awkwardness. Deepika‘s front teeth were blackened, she was given a unibrow! Not your conventional definition of beauty and not the best portfolio for an aspiring actress! So much for first meetings!

Cut to my Calcutta store. Deepika was shooting for ‘Piku’ and she came to say hello (she had worn my clothes plenty of times before, but this was the first time we spoke in person). We bonded over street food. The girl has an enormous appetite and I love women who like to eat. You can trust them. Little did I know that our small interlude that day would lead to many collaborations and a great friendship.

I have come to infer that we are similar creatures. We both work hard, are disciplined, strive for excellence and are outsiders who have found success in our respective industries, on our own terms. And when our work is done, we both head back home. To our family, our friends, familiar comforts and our food."

Much love, isn't it? Well, the actress too is as big a fan of his as he is of hers. On work front Deepika shared a picture yesterday of the shoot wrap up of her movie Chhapaak which is based on the life of an acid attack survivor, Laxmi Agrawal.
