Indian actress Deepika Padukone primarily appears in Hindi films. Her first screen appearance was in Himesh Reshammiya's music video "Naam Hai Tera" in 2005. [1] Padukone made her film debut by playing the title role in the Kannada-language film Aishwarya (2006). [2] Her first Hindi film release came the following year with Farah Khan's melodrama Om Shanti Om, in which she played dual roles opposite Shah Rukh Khan. [3] She won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for it. [4] Her sole film role in 2008 was as one of Ranbir Kapoor's love interests in Bachna Ae Haseeno. [5] Padukone's first film release of 2009, the kung fu comedy Chandni Chowk to China, proved to be a box office flop, but her next release, Imtiaz Ali's romance Love Aaj Kal, opposite Saif Ali Khan, was a success. [6] [7] [8] Of Padukone's five film releases in 2010, only the comedy Housefull was financially profitable. [8] [9] The series of poorly received films continued with both her 2011 releases, Aarakshan and Desi Boyz. [10]
The acclaimed role of an impulsive party-girl in Homi Adajania's Cocktail (2012) proved to be a breakthrough for Padukone. [10] [11] [12] The year 2013 was key for Padukone when all four of her films were box office hits. [13] Among these were two of the highest-grossing Indian films—the romantic comedies Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Chennai Express. [14] She also won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for playing a character based on Juliet in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's tragic romance Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013). [15] [16] In 2014, Padukone appeared in the Tamil animation film Kochadaiiyaan and played a bar dancer in the top-grossing heist film Happy New Year. [17] [18] [19] The following year, she played a headstrong daughter in Shoojit Sircar's comedy-drama Piku, which earned Padukone her second Best Actress award at Filmfare, and portrayed the warrior Mastani in Bhansali's top-grossing historical romance Bajirao Mastani. [20] [21] [22] [23]
Padukone's first project in Hollywood—the action film XXX: Return of Xander Cage (2017)—earned over US$345 million worldwide. [24] In 2018, she reunited with Bhansali in another top-grossing period film, Padmaavat, in which she portrayed the title role of Rani Padmavati. [25] [26] After a small break from acting, she starred in Chhapaak (2020) and 83 (2021), both produced under her own company Ka Productions, but they were not financially profitable. [27] In 2023, Padukone reunited with Shah Rukh Khan in the action films Pathaan and Jawan. Both earned over ₹10 billion (US$130 million) to emerge as her highest-grossing Indian releases. [28] [29]
