Bollywood is all about glitz and glamour. Several stars began their careers as background dancers, assistant producers, and in various other roles. Over time, their hard work and passion for acting paid off, and today, they are huge names in the industry. Similarly, this actress, who started her journey as a runway model and was also a national-level badminton player before venturing into Bollywood, has now turned heads, wooed audiences, and become one of the industry’s most prominent names.
If you’re wondering who we’re talking about, it’s none other than Deepika Padukone! Did you know that before making her Bollywood debut, Deepika first appeared in a South Indian film? However, the movie did not perform well. Later, luck favoured Deepika, and she made her Bollywood debut with Om Shanti Om. Interestingly, she was paired with the iconic Shah Rukh Khan in the film. Unlike her South Indian movie, this Bollywood film created magic on the big screen and turned out to be a massive hit. The movie grossed over Rs 150 crores worldwide, making it the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2007 and one of the biggest hits at the time.
After the success of Om Shanti Om, Deepika never looked back and went on to deliver several hits in the industry. Gradually, she made her mark and is now considered one of Bollywood’s top actresses. However, while her professional career was on the rise, her personal life hit a rough patch when she and Ranbir Kapoor broke up. Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor began dating during the filming of the 2008 movie Bachna Ae Haseeno. Their relationship lasted about three years, ending in 2010. Deepika later revealed that Ranbir had cheated on her, which led to their breakup. Following this, she faced depression and found it difficult to focus on her work. However, over time, she recovered and made a strong comeback in her career, delivering hits like Chennai Express, Padmaavat, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and others.
Deepika Started as a Background Dancer
Before starting her acting career in Bollywood, Deepika was a runway model and appeared in several ad films. However, many people don’t know that before entering the world of acting, Deepika worked as a background dancer. She even appeared in singer Himesh Reshammiya’s debut album Aap Kaa Surroor. From being a background dancer, Deepika has come a long way to becoming one of Bollywood’s top actresses. She was last seen in the film Kalki in 2898 AD.
With her professional growth came personal growth. In 2018, Deepika married Ranveer Singh, and recently, the couple was blessed with a baby girl. They are now enjoying parenthood together.
