Model-turned-actress Deepika Padukone says she always wanted to carve a niche for herself in the glamour industry but
without participating in a beauty pageant, unlike many of her colleagues.
"I had set up an objective to become a model without winning any beauty pageants, " Deepika told choreographer-
turned-director Farah Khan on STAR Plus' "Tere Mere Beach Mein".
But the actress didn't give any specific reason for her aversion to taking part in beauty contests.
A lot of Indian actresses including Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen, Celina Jaitley, Lara Dutta and Dia Mirza joined
Bollywood after earning fame through national and international beauty pageants.
