There was nothing hush about Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's recent mega wedding, except for what the bride would wear. Keeping this under wraps was akin to a covert operation. Sabyasachi Mukherjee used the code name "Naomi Campbell" to manage all communication regarding the making of Padukone's wedding outfits.

Mukherjee's grip on the Indian bridal scene is thanks in large part to the endorsement of stars like Padukone, a friend and longtime patron. Crushingly cute stories of professional camaraderie aside, the two also identify with each other on the challenges they have faced on their way to stardom, including dealing with depression.
