The Numero Uno female star in the world’s most populous country, Deepika, explained, “My mission has always been to make a global impact while still being rooted in my country.”

An actor who has generated nearly $350 million in global box-office revenues, and today is the highest paid actress in India, Deepika spoke about India’s growing influence in the world. She added, “Indian cinema has transcended borders and Indians are everywhere, so the fame goes wherever you go.”

Deepika emerged from the hopes and dreams of modern Indian women: someone with the utmost freedom to choose how she lives, works, and rests. When she was asked what she hoped to achieve next, she responded, “This is India’s moment. So how can I marry the best of the East and the West? There’s the India with our roots, our heritage, our history, but there’s also a new and young India that’s emerging. It’s these two Indias coming together that I find really fascinating at this moment.”

On the work front, Deepika Padukone has an array of line-ups. The actress recently starred in Pathaan with Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham. She now has Fighter with Hrithik Roshan and Siddharth Anand; Singham Again with Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn and Project K with Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan and Draupadi.
