Deepika Padukone is an Indian actress and a former model. Padukone made her
acting debut with the 2006 Kannada film Aishwarya. The following year, she made
her Hindi film debut with the blockbuster Om Shanti Om which earned her the
Filmfare Best Female Debut Award.
Padukone was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her family moved to Bangalore, India,
when she was eleven months old. Padukone is of Mangalorean origin, and her
mother tongue is Konkani. Her lineage hails from Padukone village in Kundapura
Taluk in the Udupi District of the state of Karnataka, India. Her father,
Prakash Padukone, is a retired badminton player of international repute, and
her mother is a travel agent. Padukone also has a younger sister,
Padukone attended Sophia High School in Bangalore, and completed her
pre-university studies at Mount Carmel College in Bangalore. While in high
school she played badminton at the state level. However, she was not keen on
pursuing a career as a badminton player.
In March 2008, Padukone
began dating Ranbir Kapoor, her co-star from the film Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008).
The couple broke up in November 2009.
Modeling
While in college, Padukone pursued a career in modeling. She was spotted in a
ramp competition in NLS, Bangalore. Over the years, she has modeled for such
Indian brand names as Liril, Dabur Lal powder, Close-Up toothpaste and Limca,
and has been "brand ambassador" for the Jewels of India retail
jewelery show. The cosmetics company Maybelline made her its international
spokesperson.
At the fifth annual Kingfisher Fashion Awards she was awarded the title
"Model of the Year". Shortly afterward, she was chosen as one of the
models for the Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar for 2006 and won two trophies at
the Idea Zee Fashion Awards: "Female Model of the Year - (Commercial
Assignments)" and "Fresh Face of the Year". Padukone was also
chosen as the brand ambassador of Kingfisher Airlines and later Levi Strauss
and Tissot SA.
Acting
Deepika got her formal acting training from the Anupam Kher School of Acting
where she was one of the most dedicated students. After pursuing a successful
career in modeling, Padukone branched out into acting. She started by starring
in the music video for the song Naam Hai Tera from the independent pop album
Aap Kaa Surroor by Himesh Reshammiya.
In 2006, Padukone made her cinematic debut in the Kannada film Aishwarya
starring opposite actor Upendra. She later made a successful Bollywood debut in
2007 with Farah Khan's international hit Om Shanti Om opposite Shahrukh Khan.
Her performance was well received, earning the actress a Filmfare Best Female
Debut Award as well as her first Filmfare Best Actress nomination.
Taran Adarsh from indiaFM noted, "Deepika has all it takes to be a
top star — the personality, the looks and yes, she's supremely talented too.
Standing in the same frame as SRK and getting it right is no small achievement.
She comes as a whiff of fresh air!" Padukone was then seen in Siddharth
Anand's romantic comedy Bachna Ae Haseeno opposite Ranbir Kapoor and alongside
Bipasha Basu and Minissha Lamba.
The film, which released on 15 August 2008, performed reasonably well at the
box office. Her next film Chandni Chowk To China, released on 16 January 2009,
and was a critical and commercial disaster. Padukone's fourth release Love Aaj
Kal, released on 31 July 2009 and proved to be one of the biggest hits of 2009.
Padukone will be next seen in Excel Entertainment’s Karthik Calling Karthik
opposite Farhan Akhtar, which is slated to release on 26 February 2009. Her
future projects include Sajid Khan’s Housefull alongside Akshay Kumar, Khelein
Hum Jee Jaan Sey directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar, and Kunal Kohli’s Break Ke Baad
co-starring Imran Khan.
In 2009, Deepika started writing weekly columns for HT City, the lifestyle
supplement of Hindustan Times. These columns appear online on social network,
Desimartini.
