Born: January 5, 1986

Deepika Padukone is one of the most well-known and well-liked Indian actresses, having appeared in a number of films. As a child, Deepika Padukone aspired to follow in her father Prakash Padukone's footsteps and become a world-class badminton player. Modeling supplanted her aspirations of pursuing an athletic career. After starring in a Kingfisher calendar and a few advertisements, Deepika Padukone, India's reigning supermodel, decided to branch out into acting. 'Aishwariya' was her first Kannada film, but her first Hindi film, 'Om Shanti Om,' launched her to fame. Movies like "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani," "Goliyon Ki Raasleela," "Piku," and "Bajirao Mastani" have helped her rise to the top of the Hindi film industry throughout the years. With 'xXx: The Return of Xander Cage,' she has made her first foray into the world of Hollywood action films. Actresses earning more than $1 million a year are few and far between.

Early Life

An international badminton player named Prakash Padukone and his wife Ujjala were the proud parents of the actress Deepika Padukone. Her father used to be a well-known badminton player back in his younger days. The youngest of the two sisters, Anisha, is a professional golfer who participates in tournaments around the United States. As a year-old child, Deepika's family migrated to the city of Bangalore in India. Mount Carmel College and Sophia High School were Deepika's two preparatory institutions of choice. For the sake of her modeling profession, she dropped out of IGNOU's Bachelor of Sociology program.

Education
