Her parents had nothing to do with the world of cinema. Deepika's father is former badminton champion Prakash Padukone. Mother, Ujala, worked in a travel agency.

Deepika Padukone and her family
Despite their fame in the sports industry, the family tried to protect their children from the attention of the press and star fever. “We had a normal, disciplined childhood as a middle-class child,” Deepika recalled.
The girl received her education at Sophia High School in Bangalore and Mount Carmel College. Deepika admitted that she was socially awkward as a child and had no friends. The only salvation from loneliness was sport. She played nationally in badminton and baseball. Her daily routine was like this: getting up at 5 am, physical education classes, school, playing badminton again, then homework, sleep.

But if Anisha received sincere pleasure from sports, then Deepika, by the age of 18, realized that she was doing it solely out of a sense of family solidarity. Having listened to her desires, the girl realized that she wanted to become a model.

Actor career
In 2006, Padukone made her debut in the short film Aishwarya. The aspiring actress was generally received warmly by critics, but Raja Vijasarathy of Indian Times noted that she needed to work on emotional scenes.

The film “Om Shanti Om” (2007) was a real success for her. The girl admitted that she learned a lot from her star partner, Shah Rukh Khan, just by watching him play. Deepika herself played the dual role of seasoned actress Shantipriya and her young rival.

During the promotion of the film, it was stated that the debutante was only 19 years old. In an interview in 2008, Deepika said that she was proud of her 5-year-younger sister, because at the age of 19 she became a real golf master. Simple calculations prove that the real year of birth of the actress is 1984.
Deepika played another double role in the kung fu comedy “Chaprin Chopra in China” (2009) - she played Indian-Chinese twin sisters Sakhi and Suzy. For the filming, Deepika trained in the martial art of jiu-jitsu and performed all the stunts herself.

Unfortunately, the film turned out to be a failure: with a budget of 12 million dollars, it only grossed 8 million. Critics criticized the film, Justin Trout from Orlando Weekly wrote: “Padukone is so bad in this film that my thoughts kept returning to Om Shanti Om.” maybe so I don't go crazy."
In 2009, Deepika received her own column in the glossy magazine HT City.
2010 brought new victories to the actress. At a minimum, she starred in five films at once. In a number of works, the girl went beyond her usual role as heroines of romantic comedies. So, in the psychological drama “Kartik Calls Karthik” she got the role of a friend of a schizophrenic, whom she is trying to pull out of the depths of madness.

Filming in the rom-com “Upside Down House” gave her the experience of filming with Akshay Kumar and became one of the highest-grossing projects in Padukone’s filmography, although critics did not greet the film very warmly. Then there was the role of a blind figure skater in “Hit and Fly”, the melodrama “After the Parting” and the historical drama “Win or Die”.
Viewers of the action movie “Vicious Circle” highly appreciated the musical number of Deepika, who performed the song “Dum Maaro Dum” of the same name in the film.

In 2012, Deepika began filming the film Cocktail. She was given the choice of which of the two main characters, neighbor friends, to play - Mira or Veronica. Since the actress had already played a girl named Mira (in the film “Love Yesterday and Today”), she decided to choose Veronica DiCosta, a little eccentric, but at heart a sweet and kind girl.
As Deepika admitted, it was “Cocktail” that gave her career the necessary impetus: “I let the audience understand who I really am.” The following films with her participation consistently collected good box office in cinemas: “Race 2” with Saif Ali Khan, the comedy “These Crazy Youth” with Ranbir Kapoor, and “Chennai Express” with Shah Rukh Khan became one of the most profitable projects in Bollywood.

The drama “Ram and Leela”, a modern interpretation of the story of Romeo and Juliet with an Indian flavor, was no exception to this pattern. For her role as Leela, Deepika was awarded the Filmfare Award for Best Actress of the Year [this is India's most prestigious film award – approx. uzanyvse.ru]. Deepika Padukone in the film “Ram and Leela” The musical “Happy New Year” managed to break these records: the tandem of Deepika and Shah Rukh Khan, who was already well known to her, collected $55 million at the box office, i.e. almost 3.5 billion rupees. It’s just that Deepika’s image caused a scandal in the press.
She was accused of commercial exploitation of a sexual image due to her deep neckline and bare stomach. “Yes, I’m a woman, and I have breasts and cleavage!” Padukone said indignantly. Some of the spectators supported her, others retorted: “Men have penises, should they now also shake it in front of the camera?”

However, passions quickly subsided, and soon the actress received a second Filmfair Award, which was brought to her by her role in Piku (2015), a comedy about an independent girl architect forced to take care of her elderly father (Amitabh Bachchan). In the same year, Deepika, who by that time was already called the bright star of young Bollywood, starred with Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh in the historical film Bajirao and Mastani.

In 2010, Deepika explained that she broke up with her lover because of his infidelity. Her new partner is actor Ranveer Singh. In November 2020, Deepika became his wife.

Indian media speculated about the engagement and reported that it took place in November 2008, although Deepika stated that she had no plans to get married within the next five years. The couple separated in 2010. They remained on good terms.
The first time he cheated on me, I thought there was something wrong with me or the relationship, but when someone makes it a habit, you know they are the problem. But I was stupid enough to give him a second chance because he begged, despite everyone around me telling me that he was still cheating on me. I guess I really wanted to believe in him. Then I caught him red-handed. It took me a while to come to my senses. But having done this, nothing can force me to return[12].
Ranbir Kapoor initially denied the allegations, but according to The Times of India
, he later admitted to treason [
