That today she is the hottest female around, that she has been linked to some of the hottest celebrities, that she is creating waves wherever she is going and the visible fact that she still remains the simple girl at heart are factors that contribute to Deepika Padukone’s undying popularity. I am sure almost all of you will agree with me on the genuine goodness of model-turned-actress. And the fact that she can act, gets her as close as it gets to being perfect. Angelic face, arresting eyes and a body to die for and a talent to match it with, she indeed is a complete package.
At a tender age of 22 years, the girl has not only made her parents but also the nation proud. The thing that strikes first (except to the human vultures) about her even before she makes presence felt is the easiness with which she has adapted to her new-found popularity. Though not completely alien to popularity Deepika tasted the real and elaborate taste of success with her maiden movie, a 1990 bollywood comeback, Farah Khan’s magnum opus ‘Om Shanti Om’. Playing stalwart’s SRK’s love interest she not only shared screen space with him but also the accolades their performance brought in.

Her profile looks like an age lived, at age when youngsters like are still struggling to make a head start, the young lady has already made a mark and is heading skywards in success.
