The Bollywood Debut That Changed It All
She went on to debut in Bollywood with Om Shanti Om in 2007 opposite Shah Rukh Khan, which instantly became a hit. The double roles she played—Shantipriya and Sandy—were a perfect testament to her promise as an actress and won her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. Her iconic dialogue “Ek chutki sindoor ki keemat.” has still been echoing in the hearts of her fans.
Charting Her Course: Stardom to Critical Success
While Deepika enjoyed enormous box office success in films like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Chennai Express, she also demonstrated her acting chops with performances in films like Cocktail, Piku, and Tamasha. She came out shining with Padmaavat (2018), in which her powerful performance as Queen Padmavati won critical acclaim.
In 2020, she had the most demanding role in her career so far- Malti in Chhapaak. This was the film on an acid attack survivor’s life, and her work there would really seal the perception of a performer who didn’t fear risks to tackle the subjects of societal issues.
