"I believe in being comfortable in what I wear instead of wearing something in fashion that does not suit my body. I don't follow fashion trends, " said Deepika.
Deepika says her favourite designer is Manish Malhotra, who is popular with most Bollywood icons.
"Manish always goes out of his way for me and does a good job. He also did my first film 'Om Shanti Om', " she said.
On Thursday, the actress was dressed in a one-shoulder, short salmon coloured dress designed by Shantanu-Nikhil, who are showcasing their collection at the WIFW as part of the sponsor show for personal care brand Fiama Di Wills.
"I am really looking forward to be a part of the show, " Deepika said.
Deepika attended an event here to announce the winner of a Fiama Di Wills Beautiful Face 2008 Hunt, organised in collaboration with the Elite Modelling Agency.
Delhi-based Prerana Sharma was crowned winner of the event by the actress.
Deepika said: "During my days of modelling, I never got any such opportunity or platform to showcase my talent. But god has been kind to me."
