Deepika Padukone, born 1986, is an Indian supermodel. She is also the daughter of former World badminton Champion Prakash Padukone.
Deepika apeared on the modelling scene, with appearances in print and television advertising campaigns for Liril soap, Close-Up toothpaste and Limca. She made her debut on the ramp in 2003 at The Vague Institute of Fashion Technology, Bangalore, and immediately shot to prominence in the industry. She received many prestigious modelling offers, including brand ambassadorship of the Jewels of India, an annual jewellery exhibition.
At the fifth annual Kingfisher Fashion Awards, for Indian models and designers, she was awarded the title of Model of the Year. Shortly afterwards, she was chosen as one of the models for the Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar for 2006, thus cementing her reputation as a supermodel.
It was expected that Deepika, like many successful models before her, would turn to acting in Bollywood. She seemed to be taking steps in that direction when she appeared in the music video for Aap Ka Suroor, a pop number from an independent album by popular Bollywood singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya.
However, Deepika recently announced that she would make her cinematic debut in a Kannada film, Aishwarya, directed by Indrajit Lankesh. The movie co-stars Upendra. She has also signed on a Hindi movie - Farah Khan's second directorial venture, Happy New Year, which is slated for an early 2007 release.
The Idea Zee F Awards 2006 added glitter to Saturday night as Bollywood stars, models and fashion designers descended on Taj Lands End for the grand finale to honour excellence in Indian fashion.
The red carpet saw the likes of designers and models share their excitement for the event.
Deepika Padukone who looked gorgeous confessed, "I am quite excited to be nominated and I hope I win." Talking about her fashion statement she added, "I don’t follow trends and prefer to do my own thing."
And it definitely was not surprising to see her bag two trophies - Female Model of the year (Commercial Assignments) and Fresh Face of the year.
The copper-toned and almond-eyed Deepika Padukone symbolises the archetypal Indian beauty with a dash of Western vim.
No wonder cosmetics brand Maybelline has made her their new international cover face.
