Deepika Padukone (born 5 January 1986) is an Indian film actress and model. She has established a successful career in Hindi (Bollywood) films, and is cited in the media as one of the most popular and attractive Indian celebrities.

 

Padukone, the daughter of the badminton player Prakash Padukone, was born in Copenhagen and raised in Bangalore. As a teenager she played badminton in national level championships, but left her career in sport to become a fashion model. She soon received offers for film roles, and made her acting debut in 2006 as the titular character of the Kannada film Aishwarya. Padukone then played dual roles in her first Bollywood releaseβ€”the 2007 blockbuster Om Shanti Omβ€”and won a Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. 

 

Padukone received praise for portraying the lead female role in the 2009 romance Love Aaj Kal, but her performances in the 2008 romantic comedy Bachna Ae Haseeno and the 2010 comedy Housefull met with negative reviews. She followed it with roles in a series of commercially unsuccessful films that failed to propel her career forward. The 2012 box office hit Cocktail marked a significant turning point in her career, earning her critical acclaim and Best Actress nominations at several award ceremonies. In 2013, Padukone established herself as a leading actress of Hindi cinema with primary roles in the comedies Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Chennai Express, both of which rank among the highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time.  

 

Alongside her acting career, Padukone participates in stage shows, has written columns for an Indian newspaper, and is a prominent celebrity endorser for brands and products. Her off-screen life is the subject of fervent tabloid rep

Deepika Padukone Talks About Her Chemistry With Ranveer And Ranbir

We are sure, most of you would have seen the Tamasha trailer that got launched by Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Imtiaz Ali.
 
In the trailer, we see Ranbir Kapoor showing a fake side of his character. So when Deepika was asked about celebrities' life also being a sham she said, "I don't think it is fake. We have certain responsibilities towards the youth as role models so we have to be careful with what we say or do. We can live the life the way we want but with the right balance towards fulfilling our responsibility."

At the same trailer launch, she was also bombarded with questions on her chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, to which her answer was, "It depends on the kind of film and role we do. Also, it is in the hands of the director to extract performance from us. There is a difference between the chemistry of Ranbir and me in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani to that between me and Ranveer Singh in Ram Leela."
 
Tamasha actress also revealed that she doesn't want to do films with Ranbir just for the heck of it. "We just don't want to come together for the heck of it. We have done films before and they have done well because they were good films. We want the (prospective) film to be special for us to come together."
