BECAUSE she is the go-to actress for big-budget spectacles. After the blockbuster success of Pathaan (2023), Deepika’s next two releases, the multilingual Project K and Fighter, are also big on scale and action and among the most anticipated releases of 2024

BECAUSE her mass appeal isn’t limited to India, which makes her one of the most sought-after Indian personalities for foreign assignments—be it as a jury member at Cannes, unveiling the FIFA World Cup trophy in Qatar or appearing as a presenter at the Oscars this year

BECAUSE she is a brand favourite with 14 marques on her roster at present, including luxury global brands such as Cartier and Louis Vuitton

GUILTY PLEASURE On her cheat days, Deepika likes to grab a bite or two of her homemade chocolate cake

FAVOURITE GETAWAY And when she needs a break from her hectic work schedule, “sun, sand and sea” are Deepika’s idea of a perfect holiday

BECAUSE she continues to be one of the most vocal advocates of mental health awareness and policies in India with The Live Love Laugh Foundation. Its rural programme covers 3,247 beneficiaries and their caregivers across four states in India
