Personal and Film Carrier
Deepika Padukone (born 5 January 1986) is an Indian film actress and model. She has established a successful
career in Hindi (Bollywood) films, and is cited in the media as one of the most popular and attractive Indian
celebrities.

Padukone, the daughter of the badminton player Prakash Padukone, was born in Copenhagen and raised in
Bangalore. As a teenager she played badminton in national level championships, but left her career in
sport to become a fashion model. She soon received offers for film roles, and made her acting debut in
2006 as the titular character of the Kannada film Aishwarya. Padukone then played dual roles in her
first Bollywood release—the 2007 blockbuster Om Shanti Om—and won a Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.

Padukone received praise for portraying the lead female role in the 2009 romance Love Aaj Kal,
but her performances in the 2008 romantic comedy Bachna Ae Haseeno and the 2010 comedy Housefull
 met with negative reviews. She followed it with roles in a series of commercially unsuccessful
films that failed to propel her career forward. The 2012 box office hit Cocktail marked a significant
turning point in her career, earning her critical acclaim and Best Actress nominations at several
award ceremonies. In 2013, Padukone established herself as a leading actress of Hindi cinema with
primary roles in the comedies Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Chennai Express, both of which rank among
the highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time.

Alongside her acting career, Padukone participates in stage shows, has written columns
for an Indian newspaper, and is a prominent celebrity endorser for brands and products.
Her off-screen life is the subject of fervent tabloid reporting in India.

Deepika Padukone was born on 5 January 1986 in Copenhagen, Denmark, to Konkani-speaking parents.
Her father, Prakash, is a former badminton player of international repute, and her mother, Ujjala,
 is a travel agent. Her younger sister, Anisha, is a golfer. Her paternal grandfather, Ramesh,
was secretary of the Mysore Badminton Association for many years. The family relocated to
Bangalore, India, when Padukone was a year old. She was educated at Bangalore's Sophia High School,
and completed her pre-university education at Mount Carmel College. She subsequently enrolled at the Indira Gandhi National Open University for a bachelor of arts degree in sociology, but later dropped out due to  scheduling conflicts with her modelling career.

Padukone has admitted to being socially awkward as a child, and did not have many friends.
 The focus of her life was badminton, which she played competitively from a young age.
Describing her daily routine in a 2012 interview, Padukone said, "I would wake up at five in the morning,
go for physical training, go to school, again go for playing badminton, finish my homework and go to sleep."
 Padukone continued to pursue a career in badminton throughout her school years, and played the sport
in national level championships. She also played baseball in a few state level tournaments.
 While concentrating on her education and sporting career, Padukone also worked as a child model,
 first appearing in a couple of advertising campaigns at the age of eight.In the tenth grade,
she changed focus and decided to become a fashion model. She later explained, "I realised that
I was playing the game only because it ran in the family. So, I asked my father if I could
give up the game and he wasn't upset at all." In 2004, she began a full-time career as a
model under the tutelage of Prasad Bidapa.
