Top10reviews brings you- Hot, dusky, sexy, leggy lass, and these are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind on the mention of Deepika Padukone’s name. She is the top-billing actress of today’s Bollywood movies and one of the most sought after celeb on internet. With 3 back to back super hits last year (Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani, Chennai Express and Goliyon Ki Raas Leela- Ram Leela), she is witnessing the best phase of her career right now. From fashion shows to cinema she has dominated the arena with beauty and brains. An icon that she is, we decided to find out the top 10 largely unknown facts about her life, and we found out that........
Deepika, in real life, is a very disciplined, self-conscious gal who is particular about maintaining an order to the things around her. For her role of Veronica in Cocktail, she had to be eased into the skin of her character by director Homi Adjanani and writer Imtiaz Ali. For starters, Homi used to take her out to show London’s nightlife in order to make her understand what Veronica’s character was all about. Imtiaz Ali had suggested Homi that Deepika should play Veronica instead of Meera because during the shoot of Love Aaj Kal, he had seen her hidden side, a wild streak which would come up rarely in her. And see the results yourself. We actually thought that she slipped into the role with natural finesse.
In an interview after their breakup, Deepika revealed to the press that Ranbeer was cheating on her. She admitted that at first she thought that there was something wrong with her because of which Ranbeer strayed off. But Ranbeer cheated on her repeatedly and she kept delaying her decision to leave until she caught him red handed. That was it. No apologies were entertained after that and she moved on.
Under NDTVs Greenathon Campaign, in 2010, Deepika adopted the village of Ambegaon in Maharashtra, to help provide them with regular supply of water and electricity. Apart from this, she is also supporting and encouraging aspiring Indian athletes for Olympics. For this, she is involved with the Olympic Gold Quest, an organization established by her father and Geet Sethi to support such athletes. Other sports personalities such as Leander Paes and Vishwanathan Anand are also supporting this organization.
Deepika is famous for her affairs with big personalities. Her conquests range from cricketers to businessmen. Until recently, Deepika was reportedly going around with Siddharth Mallya who apparently gifted her a posh flat in Beau Monde towers in Mumbai which had a price tag of a whooping Rs. 16 Crores. Holy Shit!!! Love is expensive these days. This had to be on our top 10 list.
As a student, she was always on an ‘early to rise and early to bed’ schedule. She used to wake up at 5 AM, go for her physical training session, then to school, go for badminton practice in the evening, come home and finish her homework and then go back to sleep. She maintained this schedule almost throughout her childhood. At the age of 8, she did a few commercials and also worked as a child model. By the time she was in her 10th grade, she realised that her real interest lied in modelling. She says that when she told this to her dad, he was very cool about it.
Did you know that Deepika first gained recognition with a TV commercial that she did for Liril. In 2005, she secured place in Lakme Fashion Week and walked the ramp for designer Suneet Verma. For this, she won ‘Model of the Year’ award at the Kingfisher Fashion Awards. International fashion designer Wendell Rodricks once commented on Deepika’s beauty saying, "Since Aishwarya Rai, we haven't had a girl as beautiful and fresh." Well, full marks for such beauty; at # 5, Deepika’s rise to fame.
How many of you knew that she starred in “Naam Hai Tera Tera” music video for Himmesh Reshammiya’s music album Aap Ka Suroor? It was here that Farah Khan noticed her. At # 4, Deepika’s destiny leading her to greater things.
The movie that was supposed to be her first Hindi movie hasn’t been made till now. Confused? The story goes like this: When Farah approached Deepika for the first time, it was not for Om Shanti Om but for Happy New Year. Somehow the project got shelved back then and Farah decided to go ahead with making Om Shanti Om instead. Happy New Year is now in the making and Deepika is still playing the leading lady’s role as was promised to her back then. This masaaledaar fact takes away the # 3 slot on our list.
People believe that Om Shanti Om is her first movie. But no, it may be her first Hindi movie but not her first movie experience. She made her debut in 2006 with a Kannada film Aishwarya opposite actor Upendra. It was a remake of a Telugu film and was an instant box office success. This rare fact gets the precious # 2 position on our list.
And at coveted # 1 position is the question of her place of birth. Any guesses? Well, she was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on 5th January, 1986, where her father was stationed back then for his international badminton training. The family moved to Bangalore when she was 11 months old.
She is a rare combination of beauty with brains. From a national level athlete to a top-billing actor of today, she has come a long way. But the journey doesn’t end here; she has proved herself; now she has to sustain herself. Want to know more about your other favorite moviestars? Visit www.top10reviews.in
