“Our world of films and glamour may appear easy, but only those in this business know of its challenges. At the end of the day, it took all of that to get to where I am today”

A slew of movies, international red-carpet appearances, representing India on the Cannes jury, the face of some of the world’s biggest luxury brands, and now launching a self-care brand. Given all that India’s most sought after celebrity has on her plate, she might be forgiven her elusiveness.

As we delve deep into a conversation with her, we realise that behind the statuesque persona, there’s no diva-esque drama. Her priorities are self-love and self-care, neither of which would be exceptional if she were someone else. But given who she is, her unpretentious, lowkey approach is one worth note.

Meet Deepika Padukone.

Languorous legs, a sinuously sensual smile, an athletic body that’s beyond hourglass perfect. Add to that a calm, pure soul, a deep intellect and eyes that seek honesty in all its purviews… Deepika Padukone is not just a superstar, courtesy her hits and global persona; she’s a star in the real sense. One who transcends the cinema galaxy once in a rare, blue moon.
