NEW DELHI: Deepika Padukone, among the top leading actresses in Bollywood presently, has had a remarkable journey since her acting debut in 2006. Her acting career started with ‘Om Shanti Om’ alongside superstar Shahrukh Khan. Born to the renowned Indian badminton figure, Prakash Padukone, Deepika celebrated her 38th birthday on Friday.
Here is the list of her Top 7 movies:
Deepika’s debutante movie ‘Om Shanti Om’ alongside Shahrukh Khan is a 2007 masala movie. Directed and written by Farah Khan, co-written by Mayur Puri and Mushtaq Shiekh, and produced by Gauri Khan for Red Chillies Entertainment, the film spans three decades. Shah Rukh Khan plays Om Prakash Makhija, a struggling junior artist in 1977 who develops affection for the secretly married film actress Shantipriya, portrayed by Deepika Padukone. Shahrukh- Deepika chemistry in the movie definitely made headlines that year.
Following a period of career stagnation and consecutive movie failures, Padukone staged a comeback with ‘Cocktail,’ co-starring Saif Ali Khan and Diana Penty. Released in 2012, ‘Cocktail’ is an Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy-drama film directed by Homi Adajania and penned by Imtiaz Ali.

Pritam, Yo Yo Honey Singh, and Salim–Sulaiman were responsible for the film’s score and soundtrack.
Following the breakup of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, people did not anticipate the sizzling chemistry between both of them in ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ coming-of-age romantic comedy-drama film directed and written by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Karan Johar under Dharma Productions.
Padukone and Kapoor reunite for their second film post “Bachna Ae Haseeno,” co-starring Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur in pivotal roles. The narrative follows two individuals who cross paths during a trek, with one developing feelings for the other but choosing not to disclose them.

The ensemble cast features Supriya Pathak, Richa Chadda, Sharad Kelkar, Gulshan Devaiah, Barkha Bisht Sengupta, and Abhimanyu Singh.

Despite their love, they are compelled to part ways due to their families’ long-standing feud.
‘Padmaavat’, a 2018 historical drama directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, draws inspiration from Malik Muhammad Jayasi’s epic poem. Deepika Padukone portrays Rani Padmavati, renowned for her beauty and depicted as the wife of Maharawal Ratan Singh, played by Shahid Kapoor.
